Now I’m Satisfied — Lester Beall

Lester Beall’s Now I’m Satisfied is a bold 1930s poster created for the Rural Electrification Administration. A woman sits sewing in a rocking chair beside an electric lamp, her photographic figure set against brilliant yellow and white fields with a sharply angled red title banner above.

The combination of photography, flat geometric color, asymmetrical composition, and direct typography gives the poster its distinctive modern character. An ordinary domestic scene becomes a concise visual statement about electricity entering American homes, while the vivid yellow, red, black, and cream palette makes the design as visually immediate today as it was during the New Deal era.
