QUE FAIS-TU POUR EMPECHER CELA? 1937. 31 1/2x22 inches. Ministry of Propaganda. Condition A-: restoration at edges. From the photograph by the famous war photographer Robert Capa, this is one of the most striking posters created to rally support for the Republican cause in the Spanish Civil War. Similar in color scheme and theme to Picasso's Guernica<> painted the same year, this black-and-white photomontage of a mother and child crouching in terror underneath a sky filled with Nazi bombers asked the question, "What are you doing to prevent this?" During the three years of the Spanish Civil War, posters were the single most effective tool used by the Spanish to mobilize the populace against the modern and brutally efficient Nazi-Fascist army. Printed in Spanish, French, and English, this propaganda poster acts as a sobering reminder of how the atrocities of war often harm the most innocent. Palette 13.
