Primary Artist: San Francisco Fireworks
Created: San Francisco Collective, 1986. For 4th of July.
Medium: Silkscreen
Image: One primary image, covering the bottom and left side: The statue of liberty with a policeman’s head replacing the statue’s head, and the upraised right arm holds a club, rather than a torch. The left hand cradles a copy of Newsweek, with the cover story “Ten Ways to fight Terrorism.”
Words: Upper left corner: “WHAT’S TO CELEBRATE” dropped out of blue background. Below that is “$100 million for contra terror, Klan rallies in Chicago, June 28,1986, Puerto Rico still a US colony.” Type gets smaller and smaller, citing US crimes. At bottom, “Imperialism Has To Go!”
Color: blue ink on very thin yellow paper for wheat pasting.
