Poster, Ambiciones. Militarismo. Guerra... (Greed. Militarism. War. This Is Fascism. Unite to Destroy It), 1936 Designed by Badia Vilato (Spanish, dates unknown) Printed by I.G. Seixy Barral, E.C., Barcelona Published by Confederación Nacional del Trabajo and Federación Anarquista Ibérica, Spain Commercial color lithograph 87.1132.4.1 During the Spanish Civil War many posters were created to support anti-fascist Republican forces. The disembodied parts, organic forms, and pure geometric shapes in this example attest to the influence of French Surrealism and Cubism. The artist composed this dynamic poster through a collage-like layering of images in which he contrasted the evil masked face of fascism with the dove of peace. The poster's colors also reinforce its message of peace (blue) instead of war (yellow). Back to Political Propaganda Main Back to Collections Main
