Peter Saul is one of the pioneers of the Pop Art movement - especially recognized for his powerful anti-War and politically focused pieces of the early Seventies and Eighties. This particular piece was done in protest of Ronald Reagan at the outset of his second term in office, with close up text referencing some of the failed and controversial foreign policy escapades of the era - many of which have been conveniently forgotten.

The present work is a rare proof - numbered X/X in Roman Numerals, apart from the regular edition of 25.
The present work is sold framed.
