- Curator's comments
- This print comes from a series titled 'Napalm Elegy series' that Rudolf Baranik made in response to the war in Vietnam, which were never editioned. It relates to an etching titled 'White Out', which was published in the portfolio 'Artists and Writers Protest against the War in Vietnam' (1967). The print also relates to a series of 30 anti-war paintings called 'Napalm Elegies' that Baranik produced between 1967 and 1974, which were based on a photograph of the head of a child with a disfigured face caused by napalm. The image of the child also features in this print.
