Romance Comes High - A Satirical Take on Roosevelt's New Deal Policy
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time, transporting us back to the year 1935. Created by Quincy Scott, an American cartoonist known for his political wit, this artwork titled "Romance Comes High" serves as a scathing critique of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal policy. In this thought-provoking cartoon, Scott cleverly mocks the Roosevelt Administration's approach to combatting the Great Depression through government spending. Against an enchanting backdrop of a full moon shining over an exterior scene, we see two women seated in a canoe labeled "New Deal". The moon symbolizes the financial burden that looms large over America during these troubled times. The artist uses symbolism to convey his message effectively. The canoe represents FDR's Democratic Party and its efforts to navigate through economic turmoil. However, instead of paddling towards prosperity, they are seen rowing aimlessly without direction or control. Scott's satirical genius lies in portraying romance as something unattainable due to excessive government spending. By juxtaposing love with fiscal policies, he highlights the absurdity of prioritizing public expenditures over personal happiness during such challenging times. Through this powerful image captured early into FDR's presidency, Quincy Scott invites viewers to question whether government intervention is truly effective or if it hinders individual freedom and opportunity. This timeless piece continues to resonate today as debates about governmental involvement persist amidst ever-changing
