A striking charcoal and watercolor drawing from the 1970s, this work confronts fascist imagery through an unflinching lens. Measuring 14 x 11 inches, the piece depicts a skull mounted on a pike, its head covered by a Nazi helmet. The helmet bears the grotesque iron cross, a military emblem co-opted by neo-Nazis and white supremacists in the decades following World War II.
Though unsigned, the drawing comes from a sketchbook with works dated to the 1970s, reflecting the period’s charged political climate and the persistence of anti-fascist sentiment in vernacular art. Both brutal and symbolic, the image captures the era’s urgency to confront hate and memorialize resistance through personal, hand-made expression.
