EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph poster by Ben Shahn, created in 1944 and published by the Political Action Committee of the CIO, serves as a powerful advertisement in support of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidential campaign. The image showcases an iconic portrait of FDR with his signature confident smile, exuding warmth and approachability that instantly connects with viewers. The poster's design is simple yet impactful, featuring bold text that reads "Our Friend" beneath the president's image. This slogan reinforces Roosevelt's ability to relate to everyday Americans and positions him as a trusted ally during challenging times. Shahn masterfully captures the essence of middle America through his depiction of diverse men canvassing for their candidate. Their presence symbolizes the broad appeal and grassroots support that FDR enjoyed throughout his political career. Published during a pivotal moment in American history, this lithograph poster not only promotes Roosevelt but also represents the Democratic Party's values and ideals. It encapsulates an era marked by progressivism, social reform, and economic recovery under FDR's leadership. As we reflect on this historical artifact today, it serves as a reminder of how art can be harnessed to shape public opinion and mobilize communities towards a common cause. Shahn's skillful execution combined with its association with labor unions further emphasizes its significance within both artistic and political contexts.
