Propaganda Posters


From the archives of the Smithsonian Institute, on view for the first time at the exhibiton ‘Captain Amarica - the living legend and symbol of courage’, opening on Friday, July 4, 2013.

I recently visited an exhibition on war propaganda and was inspired to make some posters not only for Cap but also for Bucky, Peggy and the rest of the Howling Commandos. Some of the artists I referenced are Edward Penfield, Norman Rockwell and Joseph C. Leyendecker.

Propaganda posters Red Room style.

We’re just going to hand wave the fact that it doesn’t really make sense for an evil soviet super secret organization to have propaganda posters.
