He represents the heroic efforts of the underground National Front party in its resistance against the Nazis. A stylized German soldier, red swastika vivid against his dark helmet, dwarfs the worker, recalling a David and Goliath\u2013type relationship. The overlaid text refers to a public \u201cexposition\u201d that would reveal the critical role of the National Front in rebuilding postwar France. A divided blue\/black background encodes the nightmarish experience of the occupation: deceptive calm by day and arrests and torture at night. The large font of the word \u201cactivity\u201d emphasizes the significance of action, while the colors of the typeface signal that it occurs in the shadows. The shared white coloring of the worker and the word \u201cclandestine\u201d reinforces this impression. Blue, white, and red leaflets from the mimeograph indicate that the worker\u2019s actions are patriotic. The National Front\u2019s name itself can also be seen as a piece of propaganda:<\/span> \u201cFront\u201d denotes a widespread grassroots movement of resistance rather than one specific group; and \u201cNational\u201d emphasizes the movement\u2019s patriotic, non-ideological character, since National Front organizations, while led by Communists, were open to all and focused on defeating the Nazis.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_post_nav next_text=”Next” _builder_version=”4.15″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Untitled (Exposition L\u2019Activit\u00e9 Clandestine du Front National) [Exposition [on] the Underground Activity of the National Front] Artist unknown1944lithograph on paperEstate of Richard N.
