Wanda GágStati Uniti, 1893–1946Si può ammirare?
Minneapolis, Stati Uniti
Appartiene alla collezione, ma al momento non è esposta.
In this satirical print, the anti-materialistic Wanda Gág scorned commercialism, which she felt was destroying the sense of tradition she held dear. After filling up at a gas station gussied up like a theme park, a late-model car tries to fit through an old covered bridge. A new telephone pole elbows out the lone tree. Billboards compete for attention with a hitchhiking man and boy, reminders that the Great Depression (1929–39) was ongoing.
