EDITORS COMMENTS
The lithograph "Everybody does it" from 1910 captures a provocative scene of men marching in a circle, each reaching into the pocket of the man in front of him to take "The Other Man's Money." This satirical artwork reflects on themes of greed, theft, and criminality in early 20th century America.
As the men parade around a map labeled "The United States of America," the artist cleverly comments on societal issues such as corruption and dishonesty. The colorful depiction adds an element of irony to the serious subject matter, inviting viewers to contemplate the darker aspects of human nature.
Through this striking image, viewers are transported back in time to an era marked by economic disparity and moral ambiguity. The bold composition and vivid colors draw attention to the stark realities faced by many Americans during this period.
This print serves as a powerful reminder that while stealing may be commonplace, it is not without consequences. The intricate details and symbolism woven throughout the artwork invite viewers to reflect on their own values and actions.
Overall, "Everybody does it" is a thought-provoking piece that continues to resonate with audiences today, prompting us to consider our own relationship with money, power, and ethics.
