Label TextFrom Max Kozloff's project statement: "This is, then, a collective project which is partially an imaginative response to a tragic event of our times, and partially a more indirect acknowledgement of the war's anguish by the placing of works in this special context. No matter how varied their theme or form, these visual and verbal images are meant to testify to their authors' deep alarm over a violence which, as they have shown here, has been impossible for them to ignore. It is to such indignation, social as well as aesthetic, that this art has been dedicated." Prints: Aritst, title, medium I. Louise Nevelson, Untitled, silkscreen II.
