These 2 posters make brilliant use of photomontage to combine Il Duce with the Italian masses. Benito Mussolini, fascist dictator of Italy from 1922 to 1943. He centralized all power in himself as the leader (Il Duce) of the Facsist party and attempted to create an Italian empire, ultimately in alliance with Hitler's Germany. In their directness and memorable simplicity, they are way ahead of graphic design anywhere else in the world at the time. Ironically, they were influenced by early Soviet graphic design.
