Scope and Contents

This print deals with worldwide political concerns as well as artistic autobiographical issues through hand printed texts incorporated into discrete, vividly colored anthropomorphic shapes on an unprinted white background. "To me, it is important to demonstrate that heavy art (not cartoons, etc) and critical/concerned art can be one; as an artist, you are paid with surplus money (stolen from the workers)." This print was part of 9 others by Fahlstrom published by multipla editions. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
