Item Description
25x38" on poster paper. This photo derived from the 1969 My Lai Massacre was taken by R.L. Haeberle. It was originally used with large text reading: "Q. And Babies?/A. And Babies." The poster was produced by the Artists Poster Committee of Art Workers Coalition protesting the American war in Vietnam. The poster was intended as a collaboration between the AWC and Museum of Modern Art. However, MoMA withdrew its association and the artist poster committee went ahead with publication in 1970. The poster is now in the MoMA collection. Two years later the text was changed to "Four More Years?/Four More Years?" in smaller and larger typefaces. The poster is showing crude roadway through rice fields with bodies of over a dozen men, women, children and babies piled in the center roadway and strewn along the roadsides. Right margin of poster has small black text "Artists And Writers Protest/Color Craft, Inc./Photographer Copyright R.L. Haeberle." Tiny hole at 9 o'clock on the stomach of the red-shirted body and a small wrinkle along the bottom edge on the right side. VF, will frame to Extremely Fine.
