here's the first WIP spread of my industrial ag collage zine project!
this one (hopefully) shows that the visual language of high modernist mechanized agriculture (specifically, farm implements like tractors) was directly lifted from the propaganda art of WWII.
also, farmers were urged to "join the mission" during WWII, since food was necessary to feed soldiers. in many ways, the marketing of farm implements after the war continued that messaging.
i'm pretty happy with this collage, but i think i should add some slogans. that should put the cherry on the sundae.
