Great Depression posters for modern times

ReadyMade asked 5 artists to reinterpret the poster art from the first Great Depression as if they were made today. [via]

Artist Nick Dewar made the poster above showing a portion of a bicycle and said that he “can’t think of a single step that would change the nature of our society more than everyone abandoning their automobiles and cycling instead”. Well said and I couldn’t agree more.

Check out ReadyMade for the other 4 posters.
