More about this artwork

Udo Keppler's 1911 satirical painting, "The Toll-Takers," cleverly critiques the economic impact of monopolies and the greed that often accompanies corporate profit. The artwork features four oversized, jovial men, each standing on wooden platforms labeled with different sectors: "Express Company’s Profit," "Railroad Company's Profit," "Bronson's Profit," and "Grimes's Profit." These characters, likely representational of businessmen or industrial magnates, appear smug and content, overlooking a cityscape that suggests the urban world their businesses dominate.A unique blend of playful caricature and serious social commentary, the painting uses vibrant colors and exaggerated forms to draw attention to the disparity between the wealthy few and the general populace. In the background, a figure struggles under the weight of a heavy basket, starkly contrasting with the ease and comfort of the businessmen above. This contrast deepens the painting's critique on social inequities.Additionally, an airship floats in the distant sky, bearing a banner that says, "Potatoes 200% Profit," underscoring the reach of exploitation from essentials like food to transportation and real estate.
