Seller rating 1 out of 5 stars
Black-and-white poster from the artist-activist Violet Ray s "Advertising the Contradictions" series, featuring a photo of a soldier in a gas mask collaged onto an ad for aerosol deodorant. Throughout his work, Violet Ray radically repurposed the visual language of advertising to explore the role of mass media and consumer culture in influencing our values and lifestyles. Through hijacking ads for ubiquitous Western products, his critical détournement exploited the psychological power of advertising in order to bring the brutality of the Vietnam War into Americans' daily lives. Turning marketing on its head, Ray s works were designed as "advertisements" against the Vietnam War. Posters featuring his images were distributed at anti-war marches, transforming tools of capitalism into tools of dissent. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this item will be donated to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Offset. 17 x 22 in. Very good; closed tear (.
