Original vintage anti-American imperialism World War Two political propaganda poster - De Dollarpoliep / The Dollar Polyp or The Dollar Octopus - featuring an image of a US dollar sign with octopus like tentacles reaching into different countries on a map in and around North and South America marking areas with dates on each tentacle, war ships at sea and military planes flying towards it on both sides from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans with sunken ships at sea and a sword marked with a rising sun emblem of Japan cutting through the tentacle dated 1898 round the Philippines on a black background, the title text above and information on the side and below with the quote on a paper background, translated from the Dutch - The well-known American publicist Henry R. Luce recently wrote in Life a magazine read by millions of Americans: "In 1919 we had a great opportunity to take control of the world. Wilson made bad use of it and we lost that chance. But whatever happens, by our collective effort Roosevelt must succeed where Wilson failed." For Americans, the law of nations is the law of the wilderness. America to Americans means that every country where the Yankees want to plant their flag suddenly becomes America and falls under the Monroe Doctrine. The history of America is one imperialistic rampage, shooting dollars instead of bullets! By exploiting European wars, America's traditional policy is to enrich itself with European interests in the Atlantic and the Pacific. So Roosevelt also thought to exploit this war for American world domination! Already dying England has made its sacrifice. But for the first time, America miscalculated! Japan and Germany now encircle America in the two Oceans...

We are pleased to present a captivating painting by the artist Sam Uhrdin (1886-1964). This beautiful artwork depicts a woman from Dalarna, sitting in front of a warm, glowing fire. The entire painting is bathed in a soft, radiant light, particularly illuminating her face and traditional white/red attire. The woman appears contemplative, lost in thought, perhaps thinking of someone dear to her heart. She is depicted in a kitchen, taking a moment to relax after a day's chores in her home. Sam Uhrdin's artistic journey began in the early 1900s, he traveled to Stockholm in 1903 to further continue his studies in painting. He worked as a painter during the day and attended various evening schools in the evenings. In 1906, he journeyed to America to work as a sign painter, but he mainly ended up working as an upholsterer. Returning to Leksand in 1909 via London and Paris, his artistic talent gained recognition, and with the help of some patrons, he began studying at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1911, occasionally attending Althin's painting school in Stockholm. Financial circumstances cut his study time short, and his skill as a portrait painter earned him numerous portrait commissions, which further occupied his time. In 1921, Uhrdin received a scholarship from the Royal Academy, enabling him to embark on a study trip in 1922 to the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, which he had to cut short due to his wife's illness. He later visited places like Spain and Portugal. Uhrdin's breakthrough came with his portrait of the former Prime Minister Nils Edén, which he executed in 1919. In 1921, he portrayed the participants of the Swedish Academy. Among other representatives of official Sweden captured by Uhrdin were Gustav V, Manne Siegbahn, Ludvig Stavenow, and bishops Gottfrid and Einar Billing. In 1932, he held a solo exhibition at Konstnärshuset in Stockholm, and he participated in various exhibitions, including the Swedish Artists' Association in Stockholm in 1917, Swedish Art at Valand-Chalmers in Gothenburg in 1923, Dalarna Artists displayed at Liljevalchs Konsthall in 1936, and the National Museum's traveling exhibition "Barnet i konsten" (Children in Art...
