Manche, Emile Louis (sold) (Lou Manche)
Emile Louis Manche (Lou Manche; December 4, 1908 - January 30, 1982) was a Dutch sculptor, illustrator, printmaker, ceramicist, and glazier. Manch was born in Amsterdam. He studied with August Falise and Piet Slager Jr. at the Koninklijke School voor Kunst, Techniek en Ambacht and then under Richard Roland Holst at the Amsterdamse Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten. He became involved with the National Socialist Party (Nazi) in the 1930s and remained engaged throughout World War II (1939 - 1945) and the German occupation of the Netherlands, mainly illustrating propaganda posters. After the war, Manche went to a prosperous career as an artist but was plagued most of his life by his involvement with the Nazi party, leading him to be rejected for numerous work bids and contracts. His war period work is also conveniently overlooked in his 1975 overview catalog Lou Manche. Work, Veldhoven: Gallery The Three Gates.

This is a powerful 1942 Lou Manche German World War II anti-American antisemitic propaganda poster and map of the Americas, over which is superimposed an avaricious octopus with economic tentacles reaching out to control the world. It was produced by the Nazi Department of People's Education and Propaganda (Departement van Volksvoorlichting en Kunsten) and accuses Jewish influence and American capitalism - centered around Roosevelt, Fort Knox, and the White House - of being a global menace, and attempts to portray the Axis powers as labor-supporting liberators.
