| Description | Editorial cartoon shows "a massive fortress topped with onion domes, blaring senseless slogans, provides a fitting metaphor for the totalitarian authority of the Soviet Union, whose flag flies above the tallest dome. Herblock skillfully unites the visual symbol of state power with the act of broadcasting the cartoon's title -- contradictory phrases that recall the newspeak practiced with numbing effect by jailers of the dystopian police state in George Orwell's landmark novel (1949) 1984. The bastion of power rests ominously upon a global grid." [Source: exhibit caption] |
