Vietnam War Protest Poster Depicting Soldiers on a United States Five-Dollar Bill
Columbia Collective, Chicago, Illinois
1970 - Screenprint on paper
8¼ x 20⅝ inches
 
One of twenty-two posters produced in 1970 by the Columbia Collective, a group of student artists at Columbia College Chicago responding to the Kent State shootings and the expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia.
 
Printed in green on a white ground, the design appropriates the format of a United States five-dollar bill, replacing its central vignette with advancing armed soldiers. The juxtaposition of American currency and military imagery reflects the visual language of American antiwar protest at the height of the Vietnam War.
 
Condition: Excellent.
