Patriotic Propaganda

Fred Sieble "Someone talked" 1942
With the image focused dead center of the page and to be so dark around the edges really captures the darkness of the time period that anything bad could have happened. With the man pointing out to the viewer and saying "someone talked," makes it feel almost as if he's displacing his distrust throughout the war on the viewer. The viewer then would answer the accusation to then feel like he or she should have patriotism to his or her country.


1943
The Uncle Sam poster is a pure American Patriotism propaganda poster. The artist made Uncle Sam ghost like but made the American citizens so much smaller in comparison almost as if to correlate that "the war is bigger than you but we need your help."
