The Poster was created by George Grosz in 1924. It shows people infront of a little shop in berlin.

It was made to show how the population suffered in poverty by starving and Not getting food or water to Care for themselfes.

We can see 3 people infrot of a shop.

A man and a child are buying a bread or a roll.

It does not seem like they have problems paying for the food because the man smiles.

The older man seems to wear proper clothes.(We can assume he has money for things that we think are usual.)

Next to them there stands a woman.

She seems to be kinda angry or sad.

Probably she is not able to buy food while being hungry.

Her clothes look kinda old and maybe also broken.

The woman seems to be dissapointed about not being able to buy food.

The Poster was published in 1924 in Berlin to show the problem in the population.

It was drawn on purpose to cause awareness.

What can we learn :

We can learn that people wanted to show the community how the life and its crises we're like at that time.

We also learnd about one of these crises while analying and desc-

ribing this poster.
