This impressive Rauschenberg print was created for a Democratic Party Human Rights Dinner fundraiser in 1981 to celebrate recipients of the Hubert Humphrey Award. That year's awardees included Jacobo Timerman (Argentine Jewish human rights activist and author of "Prisoner Without a Name, Cell Without a Number", and many other works; Clarence Mitchell, Jr., Civil Rights Activist and Chief Lobbyist for the NAACP (who would passed away in 1984), and Irina Brailovsky, Soviet Emigree, Mathematician and leader of the Committee of Concerned Scientists. This mixed media work is classic Rauschenberg in that it embodies the artist's use of color and imagery and his passion for politics.
