JEAN-CLAUDE SUARES (1942-2013)


Screwed! / The Different Drummer.
Offset lithograph poster. 882½x565 mm; 34¾x22¼ inches. 1969. Gross National Product, MN.

Using Peter Paul Reuben's 1618 painting The Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus as the basis for this poster, Suares uses collage to turn the Renaissance depiction of the abduction of Phoebe and Hilaeira, into a modern day political rally, where policeman and horses are stopping semi-clad, but stylish protesters.

One of three posters designed for the fabled clothing store, see previous lot for the first; the third was designed by Peter Max.
