This image has a modern look to it because of the simple colour combination of red, blue and white with accents of black. The image is drawn with an extreme perspective and tilted axis typical of the time. The font used is also simple, sanserif and integrated into the picture. The subject matter is reminiscent of wartime, which would have struck a chord with the audience seeing this poster.

Later in the period artists like Dali explored surrealism and cubism in abstract forms. This painting conveys some of the anguish and despair felt in this time by many people recovering from war. The limited colour palette and the distorted asymmetrical composition show this as part of the early modern genre.
Although I find much of the art from this period to be quite confronting and tortured, I like the way artists used new perspectives and experimental ways to combine images into a whole piece. The images from this time still look modern and innovative now and I enjoy the underlying humour in many of the graphic posters.
