transfer
photo created in InDesign by Andrew
This poster is an example of "transfer," because it juxtaposed two different leaders to create association of a widely reviled leader to another leader. In creating this image, Andrew the propagandist attempted to convince people to hate Stalin by comparing him to Hitler, the widely-held standard of evil in the modern era. By invoking the feeling that Hitler has in many people (one of fear, hate) and "transferring" that onto a description of Stalin's menacing mustache, he encouraged people to view Stalin in the same light they view Hitler, a war-mongering and genocidal madman.
