About this Item

56pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Designed by Deborah Ross. This is the catalogue published in conjunction with the 1990 Pasadena Armory Center for the Arts retrospective of the work of wry political satirist Robbie Conal. Firmly in the lineage of such 20th Century political artists as John Heartfield, Hans Haacke, and Klaus Staeck, Conal is renowned for his midnight guerrilla postering raids of the Los Angeles urban landscape with such memorable images as "Contra-Diction (Ronald Reagan)" and "It Can't Happen Here (George Bush Sr.)". Other Reagan-era stalwarts skewered here include Nancy Reagan, Henry Kissinger, James Baker, Jesse Helms, Ed Meese, Oliver North, Dan Quayle, John Poindexter, Margaret Thatcher, Jimmy Swaggart, and Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker. This reproduces virtually his entire oeuvre of the eighties - both paintings and posters - including documentation of many defaced and in-situ works. A most handsome example additionally SIGNED "Robbie Conal" in black ink on the title page. Seller Inventory # 020821
