A shared concern of Italian operaismo-minded artists of the 1960s and 1970s was to devise images that mirrored both the material culture of the period’s labor struggles and "the workers’ point of view".
This three-part analysis will examine the drawings that appeared in classe operaia, Pablo Echaurren's drawings published in Lotta Continua in 1977, and a poster developed by the most operaista component of the Italian feminist movement, the Wages for Housework Campaign. These three case studies shed new light on political iconography and provide a contribution to one of Mario Tronti's recent projects: a Warburgian atlas of the working class.
