Description

The train carriages decorated with anti-fascist propaganda by the Professional Cartoonist Union in 1936 are a powerful expression of committed art. This visual document shows how artistic creativity was put at the service of the ideological struggle, turning the means of transport into supports for political communication. The initiative reflects the power of graphics and the visual message in times of war, and how Catalan artists actively participated in the defense of democracy. This action connects with other European political art movements and reminds us that culture can be a tool of resistance, denunciation and hope.
