<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9823836, member: 10944"]This is a strange thing that I don’t own. Saw it for sale as a poster. Put two and two together and realized it’s likely a shooting target. Did the Germans have something against American 20th century art/artists? WWII related if so? Or something else? At first I thought it was an exhibition poster but being that it’s printed by a hunting association (DJV) and that they have other targets featuring similarly stylized animals I’d think this was also a target. Plus I don’t think this is a known American artwork, and not by one of those artists, or is it? Hoping someone can maybe help me understand what’s going on here? Maybe I got part of it wrong? Just a curious thing. I don’t have better photos. [ATTACH=full]489753[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]489754[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
