EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful poster from 1919 Hungary captures the spirit of May Day, also known as Labour Day, with a striking image of a worker holding a hammer. The worker is depicted in bold red colors, symbolizing the revolutionary ideals of communism and socialism. Created by artist Mihaly Biro during the Hungarian Soviet Republic, this propaganda piece aimed to inspire and unite the working class.
The figure in the poster represents Bela Kun, a prominent communist leader during that time period. With his determined expression and raised hammer, he embodies strength and solidarity among workers fighting for their rights. The use of vibrant colors and dynamic composition adds to the sense of urgency and passion behind this message.
As we reflect on this historical moment through Biro's artwork, we are reminded of the ongoing struggle for social justice and equality around the world. This poster serves as a reminder of the power of collective action and resistance against oppression.
May this image continue to inspire us to stand up for our beliefs and work towards a more just society for all. Let us honor those who came before us in their fight for workers' rights on this Labour Day.
