From The Plain People

From The Plain People by Hulki Okan Tabak minted 2021 on Async Art

4 artworks based on World War I propaganda posters from the US depicting the war time aid to Belgium. The core propaganda was to show the aid as humanitarian and from the plain people of the US to the ordinary Belgians.

The Great War, history, politics, art, posters and propaganda are topics of interest for me. It was kind of natural that I wanted to incorporate that in my cryptoart creations. The desire led to a selection of public domain pieces out of copyright from the Library of Congress archives. I created all sorts of derivative pacifist and tongue-in-cheek works. So far I have only minted a handful on KnownOrigin. Starting September 2021, I will mint a more comprehensive set on Async Art and KO depending on the nature of the final artwork. The artwork presented here is part of that World War I Posters set.
