EDWARD MCKNIGHT KAUFFER (1890-1954) EL NUEVO ORDEN. 1942.
40x28 1/2 inches, 101 1/2x72 1/2 cm. El Coordinador de Asuntos Interamericanos, Washington D.C.
Condition B+: restoration along vertical and horizontal folds.
An astonishing image that is absolutely unexpected within the scope of Kauffer's work. In an attempt to vilify Germans during the Second World War, he has incarnated an Axis officer in the image of a horrifying, slobbering, wild beast. Kauffer 275, Modern America 54.
