Small Figures Assembling a Swastika-Marked Mechanical Giant (untitled)
Untitled graphic with no printed text: a large patched, bolted green figure with a red swastika on its chest is worked on by two small caricatured figures, one on a stepladder with a toothbrush moustache and one at lower right. Name-calling: the Axis is shown as ridiculous and mechanical through caricature and scale; transfer: the swastika is the stigma symbol.
