 Item — Folder 38: [Barcode: 31858072459989]
Identifier: CC-13318-13619

The print depicts the Arc d'Triomphe as a shaped poem formed by collaged newsprint and calligraphic text. This Parisian structure is depicted facing the Avenue des Grandes Armees. The latter serves as a metaphor for part of an ejaculate from another of the print, viz., a penis shaped from collaged newsprint & calligraphic text that is a metaphor for the young revolutionaries in the May 1968 student led rebellion in France. Texts in the poem support the May 1968 action against the government. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
