About the Artwork

Warhol incorporated the image of a Birmingham civil-rights confrontation into his wider exploration of disturbing newspaper photographs and mass communication.

The subject requires a serious reading of racial violence and the ethical power of documentary imagery, rather than merely decorative color.
