About the Item
This circa 1970 original serigraph, created in support of the Black Panther Party, is a striking and uncompromising piece of political art titled Justice. Rendered in a powerful two‑tone palette of deep black and searing red, the composition captures the urgency and volatility of a period marked by civil rights battles, community activism, and confrontations with institutional power.
The serigraph’s photographic, high‑contrast aesthetic—typical of underground political graphics of the era—evokes the raw visual language of protest: bold silhouettes, grainy textures, and stark outlines that amplify both immediacy and emotional force. At the center stands a figure addressing the crowd, while behind him demonstrators hold signs marked “KIDNAPPED”, referencing the widely publicized arrests and imprisonments of Black Panther members. The image becomes not just documentation but a visual accusation—a demand for accountability and equity.
The single word JUSTICE, set in heavy black type across the lower margin, transforms the poster into a rallying cry. Rather than depicting a specific event alone, the work symbolizes an entire movement’s struggle against systemic oppression, police brutality, and political repression.
As an original serigraph, the piece embodies the handmade, activist-driven production methods used by grassroots organizations at the time. Screenprinting allowed for rapid, affordable distribution—essential for rally posters, community announcements, and visual resistance. Surviving examples from this period have become rare, highly sought after for both their historical significance and their bold graphic power.
This poster stands today as a compelling artifact of protest art—an unfiltered expression of defiance, solidarity, and the ongoing demand for justice.

1967 original Soviet poster by G. Komoltsev, titled American Democracy
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1967 original Soviet poster by G. Komoltsev, titled "Démocratie Américaine," is a striking example of Cold War-era propaganda that reflects the intense ideological conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. The poster critiques American democracy, portraying it as hypocritical and violent. This powerful visual commentary was produced at the height of the Vietnam War and during the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, two major issues that Soviet propaganda frequently highlighted to criticize the U.S.
G. Komoltsev, a Soviet artist, employed bold imagery and stark contrasts to make a political statement. The design of the poster features a fragmented American flag, with images that depict scenes of police brutality and military intervention, a visual representation of what the Soviet Union portrayed as the reality behind the American ideal of democracy. The use of red, white, and blue in the poster echoes the American flag, but the imagery contained within these colors tells a very different story, emphasizing conflict, oppression, and inequality.
This poster was part of a broader campaign by the Soviet Union to undermine the global image of the United States by highlighting domestic issues such as racial inequality, protests against the Vietnam War, and civil unrest. Soviet propaganda during this period frequently contrasted the social upheavals in the United States with the purported stability and equality of the socialist system. Posters like "Démocratie Américaine" were distributed widely in Soviet territories and in allied countries as part of this ideological battle.
The bold, graphic style of the poster is typical of Soviet propaganda art...
