1969réf. 148329Milan: c. 1969. Striking pop art-influenced suite of anti-imperialist propaganda posters published in Milan by the Comitato Vietnam - self-described in their literature as the "sezione italiana del tribunale Russell". The work of a collective comprised of six prominent Italian artists the images carry the theme 'Rebellion is right rebellion is possible' into various theatres of anti-imperialist struggle. Baratella b. 1935 Mariani b. 1936 and Spadari 1938-97 were long-term collaborators and members of the Nuova Figurazione art movement. Amadori 1945- 2015 won the Joan Miró prize in 1972. Spadari's contribution draws on the "solarised" image of Castro in the Cuban Revolution from his work "26 de julio" while in an anti-Vietnam War themed poster similarly treated repeated images of a Vietnamese women are overlain by a Lichtensteinian US fighter jet wheeling away from an explosion from which emerges a Coca-Cola bottle cap with the slogan 'Nixon boia' - Nixon executioner also the title of a song by popular singer-story teller Franco Trincale - and the partially obscured text 'Coca-Cola merda'. Nixon also features on a poster featuring his cartoonish portrait wearing a star-spangled neck-tie while being choked out by several nooses above him a ferociously snarling Black Panther head; while "Africa Rossa/Africa Nera" centres on a photographic image of the clenched first Black Power salute. Baratella based his poster around his painting "Benito Mussolini Storia del fascismo" where "Il Duce's" face morphs into a skull here with the lower part is superimposed with six small portraits of current political leaders including de Gaulle Pompidou Khrushchev and LBJ. The last in the group dramatises the Arab-Israeli conflict with a repeated image of a woman PFLP fighter - Leila Khaled - in keffiyeh and camo fatigues carrying a AK-47 above her a map of Jerusalem. No other set of these traced a couple of examples of individual posters noted institutionally; an excellent evocation of the artistic-political synergies of the period.

This one of a presumably small number of copies bearing a rubber-stamped message which reads: "This poster was originally co-sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art. On Dec. 19 trustee William S. Paley forbid the Museum to associate its name with this poster. Do the Trustees approve of the massacre" stamped twice in the image lower right. One of the true icons of Twentieth Century American protest art this poster created by the Art Workers Coalition under the guidance of Fraze Dougherty Jon Hendricks and Irving Petlin was issued to bring attention to the horrendous My Lai massacre of March 1968. The photograph by Ron Haeberle originally appeared in Life Magazine. The Museum of Modern Art had originally promised to underwrite the poster's creation and to donate paper and printing costs - but later abandoned the project under the objections of board President William S. Paley. The AWC still managed to print fifty thousand copies which they distributed for free. As a response to MoMA's backing out of the project an unknown number of the posters were rubber-stamped with the message quoted above and a demonstration was held inside the museum in front of Picasso's Guernica where copies of the poster were unfurled and given away. These events are recorded in a 2015 interview with co-creator John Hendricks: ".We had a big meeting of Art Workers' Coalition about how we should address their MoMA's reneging of the agreement with us. It was decided to make a rubber stamp.saying "This is the poster that the Museum of Modern Art agreed to do jointly with Art Workers' Coalition and Bill Paley and Arthur Drexler refused to do" or something like that. So we stamped as many posters as we could with that stamp. Then we had a number of demonstrations in front of the museum and inside in front of Guernica." interview with William Twersky WT_History Blog April 2015.
