This poster was produced from an original collage composed of photographs glued onto paper, drawings, and writings. Rivers added masking tape and then inscribed words. Finally he stapled the entire work onto a piece of cardboard.

Larry Rivers (1923 - 2002) was a painter, draftsman and printmaker who began his career as a jazz saxophonist. After studying at the Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts and New York University, he devoted himself to art. Rivers is known for his abstract style, and is often considered a forerunner of the Pop Art movement.

His work is displayed at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the National Gallery of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and many other museums.
