Description
-
This piece represents one of Warhol's many screen prints. In this one he intentionally used an article that headlined “Judge Blasts ‘Lynch Mob,’” that recounted the sentencing of the first among a group of white teenagers who beat a black transit worker to death in 1982. Warhol however cropped the word “mob,” leaving only "Judge Blasts 'Lynch," forcing the viewer to puzzle out the meaning. Warhol also decided to eliminate the image that accompanied the “Act of Humility” caption at the bottom left of the original newspaper, which showed Pope John Paul II washing the feet of a homeless boy in Rome. This further emphasized the picture of the boy arrested and the headline about the act that occurred.
