Steh auf, Prolet! / Oskar Kanehl ; mit 7 Zeichnungen von George Grosz.

Kanehl, Oskar, 1888- · 1922 · Berlin : Malik-Verlag · 7 pictures

Steh auf, Prolet! is a 1922 German book of socialist verse by Oskar Kanehl, published by Malik-Verlag in Berlin and addressed to working-class readers, with seven drawings by George Grosz. The pictures are ink and crayon line drawings with heavy hatching, showing caricatured figures of workers and the wealthy amid brick walls, city blocks and bread and jugs. A designer might take the blunt, angry contour line and stark tonal contrast as a model for political poster or protest graphics.
