Description
-
This screen print of an image of the Birmingham Race Riots is similar to other Warhol prints of current news reports. The Birmingham Race Riots were a protest against segregation that was met with violent police action. The Race Riots of the 60s were a key part of the US Civil Rights Movement. By printing an image of the event Warhol highlights the issues people face on the daily. As well, he provides purely the image of the riot not a biased news report as a newspaper would, allowing the viewer to truly sit with the violence in the image.
