EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and thought-provoking poster, titled "Communism in Switzerland, c. 1930" captures the political climate of its time with striking imagery and powerful messaging. Created by Burkhard Mangold, a renowned artist from the early 20th century, this piece serves as a historical artifact that reflects the tensions surrounding communism in Switzerland during the 1930s. The poster features a street scene set against a backdrop of darkness, symbolizing the perceived dangers of communism. The illustration depicts politicians gathered around an illuminated sign that reads "Vote for List 1 under Freisinn, that's where Bolshevism leads". This slogan warns viewers about the potential consequences of embracing communist ideologies. Mangold skillfully uses color to enhance his message; bold red hues dominate the composition to evoke associations with both communism and danger. The juxtaposition between day and night further emphasizes contrasting notions of freedom and malediction. As an important piece of propaganda art from this era, it offers insight into Swiss politics at a time when fears about Bolshevik influence were prevalent across Europe. Through its vivid visuals and persuasive rhetoric, this poster seeks to sway public opinion against communism while highlighting Switzerland's commitment to liberalism. Preserved by Archives Charmet and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this print continues to serve as a reminder of past political struggles while inviting contemplation on how history shapes our present-day perspectives on ideology and governance.
