Portrait of LBJ

Created at the height of the U.S. war in Vietnam, Dominick Di Meo’s photomontage of Lyndon B. Johnson delivering a speech from atop a mountain of human skulls functions as a bitter political rebuke of the American president’s policies that many believed perpetuated an unjust war. By calling attention to the human cost of war, Di Meo’s photomontage advances the cause for peace, understanding, and human dignity.
