Poster, U.S. Out of the Middle East
This is a Poster. It was printed by Inkworks Press. It is dated ca. 1980 and we acquired it in 1993. Its medium is offset lithograph on paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
Almost all living and nonliving things emit infrared radiation, or heat. While these long wavelengths fall beyond the visible spectrum, thermal imaging uses temperature to form a picture of objects, even in total darkness. In this activist poster, the bodies of soldiers radiate heat visible in red, orange, yellow, and green tones.
It is credited Gift of Steven Heller and Karrie Jacobs.
