JOIN – 1917 Historical Masterwork | Limited Edition 6-Piece Skateboard Art Installation
"JOIN" — 1917 Historical Masterwork
Limited Edition 6-Piece Skateboard Art Installation
SKU: REDX-1917-6DK-001
This monumental 6-piece installation deconstructs the iconic 1917 Red Cross "Greatest Mother in the World" recruitment poster, scaling a piece of American history into a 4-foot wide statement of functional fine art.
Originally printed during the height of the Great War, the "Join" imagery represented a call for collective empathy and humanitarian support. By spanning this lithographed masterpiece across six professional-grade Canadian Maple canvases, the work creates a high-tension dialogue between vintage propaganda and modern street culture.
