Gropper's work spans political cartoons and large murals, all connected by a style that emphasizes social justice, depicting struggles from 1932 to 1957.
In the exhibition, a towering 14-foot mural of Paul Bunyan as a working-class hero stands out, symbolizing his focus on labor issues and heroism.
Highlighting his political engagement, Gropper's work includes biting caricatures of figures like Hitler and anti-fascist Americans like Charles Lindbergh and Hearst.
Curator Elsa Smithgall has arranged the exhibition to reflect Gropper's responses to the political climate, emphasizing works created during World War II.
