The caption label from exhibit "Creative Space" Incorporation, Experimentation, and Outreach: Though known for his collage paintings, Benny Andrews shows his mastery of line in this composition. Scathing and humorous, this work continues the artist's longstanding social and political activism. In 1969, Andrews established the Black Emergency Cultural Coalition, to protest the exclusion of minorities from the mainstream art establishment. It was also during the late 1960s that Andrews started coming to the Printmaking Workshop. Between 1970-1975, Andrews produced a series of drawings entitled Symbols, Trash, Circle, Sexism, War, and Utopia.

This print is in the collection of The Library of Congress.
