Week 5

This war poster is by Lucian Bernhard which was for a war-loan campaign in the year 1915. I really like this because of the medieval feel to it with the richness and boldness of the colors black and red. Especially the font used to help show the theme of the piece that ties it together. The drawn metal arm is powerful because of the direction of the fist and shows force to what the message is saying to the public. Even the parchment effect is dead on adding the age which in that time wasn't so but going back to the theme I have stated before. Over all the piece is terrific of how it is hand-drawn also being medieval.

  1. What does this say about the Germans at this time? They were still seen as pretty traditional and somewhat stuck in the past, too.
