Harry Mayerovitch, film poster, 1943

This is the poster for the film The Labour Front. Its designer, Harry Mayerovitch, was inspired by the socially engaged art of Mexican artists such as Rivera and Orozco, and he depicts the worker as an imposing, larger-than-life figure totally devoted to his part in the war effort.
