Original Description
Reds by Boardman Robinson is a striking political cartoon turned powerful painting that captures the turbulent spirit of early 20th-century America. Created in 1917 against the backdrop of the Russian Revolution and America's Red Scare, Robinson's dynamic lines and bold red hues depict grotesque revolutionary figures with masterful expressionist distortion. The work exemplifies Robinson's signature style blending German Expressionist influences with American illustrative traditions, showcasing his mastery as both a political cartoonist for radical publications like The Masses and later as a muralist. Historically significant, Reds represents a pivotal moment when dissident American artists began using exaggerated visual metaphors to critique social upheaval - establishing Robinson as a bridge between Goya's graphic social commentary and later American Social Realism.
For impactful contemporary display, Reds commands attention best hung against deep navy or charcoal walls in spaces with warm metallic accents. Its 24x18 inch dimensions make it ideal for anchoring a study or executive office wall gallery, particularly when paired with industrial-style lighting and mid-century furniture that echoes its revolutionary spirit. The artwork's crimson tones create stunning visual synergy when juxtaposed with emerald green velvet upholstery or walnut wood tones. Consider displaying it prominently near leather-bound books and brass desk accessories for a sophisticated radicalism aesthetic. In minimalist spaces, let it stand alone with dramatic framing (black lacquer or gilt) to highlight Robinson's compelling draftsmanship while preventing visual competition with busier decorative elements.
