About this work

The painting features a striking composition with a prominent American flag at the top, overlaid with the faces of two men. The bottom section is divided into three vertical stripes, with the left and right stripes in green and the middle stripe in orange. Below this, a row of five green silhouettes of the Statue of Liberty is visible, with flames rising from the bottom. The background is a vibrant yellow. In the foreground, the words "NO FRANCO NO AMERICANS NO KING" are written in bold black letters, accompanied by a small logo featuring a gun and the letters "FRAP." The overall effect is one of boldness and protest. To learn more about the artist behind this powerful piece, explore the work of Walker, Martin.
