Jean Carlu made a war poster in 1941. It shows a worker with a rivet gun next to a barrel. The shape looks like a soldier with a gun, linking home work to battle. Some people liked how it used modern art ideas. Others said abstract shapes could mix up the message. Workers even mistook the man for a gangster. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this poster.
