"White Squad V" (1984)

Leon Golub was an American painter and also a peace activist during the Vietnam War-era. He was horrified by the human brutality being done which drove him to an expressionistic and dramatic use of human figures in his monumental paintings. The piece, White Squad V captures the moment of decision for violent action. This painting references the subdivision of war into acts of terrorism and torture and is a big symbol in the anti-war movement and this exhibition.
