BASTA
(ENOUGH)
Mark
Vallen 1988
Pencil on paper 15" x 16"
Artist's
statement:
"I
created this drawing in reaction to the wars then raging throughout
Central America. The
region was convulsed by military dicatorship, revolution and counter-revolution,
while
the great majority of people were living without running water,
schools, electricity, and basic sanitation facilities.
Although
my drawing focused on the conflicts that tore Central America
apart in the 80s, it is also a timeless universal condemnation
of war."
