GLENN ERNEST GROHE (1912-1956)

HE'S WATCHING YOU. 1942.

39 1/2x28 1/4 inches, 100 1/2x72 cm. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C.
Condition B: overpainting in upper left image and in text; repaired tears, creases and abrasions at edges and along vertical and horizontal folds; creases and abrasions in image.

This is one of the most powerful American images produced during the Second World War. It is a terrifying, hypnotizing vision of a German soldier (seen forbiddingly submerged in shadows) with his eyes staring straight out at the viewer, rising ominously above the bold typography. This is the larger format. Word & Image p. 89, Weill 500, Design for Victory p. 29, Rhodes p. 174, Pollack p. 155.
