From a series of peace and protest posters by Weege printed at Happening Press in the late 1960s, these images originally appeared in his portfolio Peace is Patriotic. Weege was a printmaker and artist. He was an MFA student at the University of Wisconsin Madison during the anti-Vietnam war protests that rocked the campus in 1967 - a protest movement that helped define his political work. He represented the United States at the 1970 Venice Biennale.
