Untitled 1944

This satirical cartoon, created in 1944 by the Soviet art collective Kukryniksy, depicts a caricature of a German soldier, adorned with stolen jewelry and a looted suitcase. The figure stands before the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, highlighting the German occupation of France during World War II. Kukryniksy's "Untitled" serves as a potent visual critique of Nazi plunder and the brutality of war, using exaggerated features and symbolism to convey their message.
