A striking image by Sicilian painter, illustrator and printmaker Bruno Caruso (1927-1918). Much of Caruso's work during the late 1960s and early 1970s was intensely political, inspired by social justice movements around the world including anti-colonial movements in Africa, the civil rights movement in the U.S., and, as here, opposition to the Vietnam War.
