Purchase a giclee of Socialism will forge a new Spain

Artwork Description

The symbols of the anvil, the inkwell, the pen and the book appear repeatedly on Socialist posters during the Civil War as a tribute to the two founding bases of the PSOE, the intellectuals and the workers, aimed at changing Spain through work and education. Another characteristic element, repeated in many other posters, is the expressive gigantism in the representation of the worker in this case.
