Look, Vistula is Near Poster 1914

Kazimir Malevich's "Look, Vistula is Near Poster" (1914) is a bold and satirical depiction of the German military during World War I. The poster features a large, menacing figure in a Prussian helmet, representing the German Kaiser Wilhelm II. He stands over a line of smaller, submissive soldiers. Malevich's signature style, utilizing bold colors and simplified forms, evokes a sense of caricature and propaganda. The poster, intended to encourage resistance against the German invasion of Poland, encapsulates the artistic and political climate of the early 20th century.
