About this work

This image is a black-and-white print with jagged, dark brushstrokes on the left side. The right side is filled with messy, handwritten text in all caps, accusing someone named "LBJ" of violence and war crimes. The words are packed tightly, some overlapping, with phrases like "MURDERER," "bombs," and "stop this war" repeated. The print mixes sharp edges with rough scribbles, giving it a chaotic, urgent feel. The text seems to be a protest against a political figure, but the exact meaning is left raw and emotional. If this style of printmaking intrigues you, look up lithography.
