GLEN GROHE (1912-1956) HE'S WATCHING YOU. 1942. 39 1/2x28 1/4 inches, 100 1/2x72 cm. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. Condition B / B-: creases along horizontal and vertical folds; restored loss and overpainting at upper edge, affecting image; tears, creases and restoration in margins and image. This is one of the most powerful American images produced during the Second World War. It is a terrifying, hypnotizing vision of a German soldier (seen forbiddingly submerged in shadows) with his eyes staring straight out at the viewer, rising ominously above the bold typography. This is the larger of two formats. Word & Image p. 89, Weill 500, Design for Victory p. 29, Rhodes p. 174.
