A monumental 6-deck installation of a definitive 20th-century protest masterpiece.

This oversized 6-deck series features the iconic 1970 anti-war poster, "[U.S. flag: guns for stripes, planes for stars.]". Originally created during the height of the Vietnam War era, this work is a powerful subversion of American iconography, replacing stars with 30 warplanes and stripes with M16 rifle silhouettes.

Historical Context & Provenance

Artist: Anonymous (Political Poster Workshop, UC Berkeley).

Produced circa 1970, this lithograph is part of the permanent collection at the Library of Congress. The image is traditionally displayed in an inverted orientation—the international signal for dire distress—reflecting the era's civil and political unrest. By expanding this imagery across six professional-grade canvases, this set provides a museum-scale representation of a masterpiece of 20th-century graphic design.
