Artist Signature - Riley Sunrise (1914-2006) Quoyavema “Another of the earlier Hopi artists, Riley Sunrise (Quoyavema) worked with Fred Kabotie and Waldo Mootzka in illustrating John Louw Nelson’s Rhythm for Rain. He is also known as Quoyavema or Kwayeshva, according to Nelson. His paintings are comparable to Fred Kabotie’s, with some of them showing more action and most of them revealing less detail. Sunrise is represented in the collections of the Denver Art Museum, Gilcrease Institute (Tulsa), and the Southwest Museum. The Museum of the American Indian in New York has an extensive collection of his paintings of native Hopi dances.” (Clara Lee Tanner: Southwest Indian...

Original Vintage WWII Poster De Dollarpoliep The US Dollar Polyp Octopus War Map

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...

A fine, richly-inked impression, with fresh colors, on heavy, coated off-white wove paper; the full sheet with margins (1/2 to 1 1/2 inch), in excellent condition. Scarce.

Image size 13 1/2 x 7 9/16 inches (343 x 192 mm); sheet size 17 x 12 1/4 inches (432 x 311 mm).
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Robert Vale Faro (1902-1988) was a well-known modernist architect and artist associated with the Chicago Bauhaus. He received his degree in architecture and design from the Armour Institute in Chicago and worked at L'Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris, from 1924-27, where he was influenced by Harry Kurt Bieg and Le Corbusier. Upon his return to Chicago, Faro worked with the important modernist Chicago architects George and William Keck under Louis Sullivan.
Faro founded the avant-garde printmaking group Vanguard in 1945. The group counted Atelier 17 artists Stanley William Hayter, Sue Fuller, and Anne Ryan as New York members and Francine Felsenthal of Chicago. The Brooklyn Museum mounted a show of Vanguard artists' work in 1946, which subsequently toured several other institutions in the United States.
Faro's visionary graphics from the 1940s are a sophisticated blend of Abstract Expressionism, Surrealism, and Indian Space...

Arthur Rothstein ( 1915 – 1985) was an American photographer. Rothstein is recognized as one of America’s premier photojournalists. During a career that spanned five decades, he provoked, entertained and informed the American people. His photographs ranged from a hometown baseball game to the drama of war, from struggling rural farmers to US Presidents. Rothstein was born in Manhattan, New York City, and he grew up in the Bronx. He was a graduate of Columbia University, where he was a founder of the University Camera Club and photography editor of the Columbian. Following his graduation from Columbia during the Great Depression, Rothstein was invited to Washington DC by one of his professors at Columbia, Roy Stryker. Rothstein had been Stryker's student at Columbia University in the early 1930s.
Stryker hired Rothstein to set up the darkroom for Stryker's Photo Unit of the Historical Section of the Resettlement Administration (RA).
