1943. (In these times of Corona this Poster still calls to our patriotic sensibilities and need for communal co-operation) United We Win. World War II. The Government was well aware of the demoralizing effects of racial prejudice on the American population and its impact on the war effort. As a part of the patriotic war effort The black press referred to a "Double V"-victory over fascism abroad and over racism at home. Though a groundbreaking poster it came to symbolize America's failed commitment to integration of the races.  After WW II and during the War effort The Races remained segregated. Nonetheless, a striking image that spoke of the possibilities of The American Dream. The photo was taken by the great Alexander Liberman of American VOGUE (1941-1994).  Liberman's image shows a black man and a white man working together harmoniously. The straight-forward slogan "United We Win," signals to the viewer that winning the war requires combined efforts from all sections of the society. Liberman was Artist, Painter, Photographer, and man of the World. His works are represented in the MoMA NY collections. Please write for a bespoke shipping quote and all queries!
