Ben Shahn/War Resisters League
Gandhi
$20

Ben Shahn is an important point of reference for a number of Justseeds artists, so we are extremely excited to be able to offer this Ben Shahn poster for the War Resisters League. Produced by the WRL back in 1983 as a commemoration of their 60th anniversary, we have a small number of these original posters available.

"I do not want merely to appeal to your head, I want to capture your heart." -Gandhi

Ben Shahn (1898–1969) is one of the best known and most celebrated American social realists. He is most well known for his socially engaged and left-wing paintings, he also produced murals, illustrations, prints, essays and books. Some of his most powerful work is a series of paintings and drawings created in support of the anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti.
