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 from 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. It's a rare chance to get an inexpensive Ben Shahn print produced with permission of his estate.

"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.

ATTENTION: These posters are over 30-years-old. Although they are in overall great condition, they may have some worn or faded edges and small corner bends.
