Czech-German illustrator Walter Trier (1890–1951) created this satirical pamphlet in 1942, commissioned by the British Ministry of Information as a targeted strike on National Socialism. This book makes it available again, with historical analysis offered by German writer and curator Max Czollek and Trier biographer Antje M. Warthorst. Trier’s unique style, which he himself once described as “grotesque”, is marked by an ironic manipulation of reality posited from the perspective of sober humanity. His humour is a place where the present day becomes visible in all its absurdity. This series showcases not only Trier’s artistic mastery but also his tragedy, apprehension, and rage.
