About this work

This poster shows a bold, graphic scene in red, blue, and white. A man in a suit and sunglasses stands over a smaller figure with a star-spangled dress. His arms reach down like a puppet master, gripping the figure’s wrists. The background is split into red and blue halves, giving it a sharp, divided look. The text at the bottom names the show: *Johnny Boxer*, with a phone number and theater address. The style is flat and stylized, not realistic. Look up Walker, Martin to see more of his bold, political art.
