A leading cultural and civil rights activist in the United States from the early 1960s until his death in 2004, Leon Golub consistently created works that addressed humanitarian issues. Here the artist placed monumental images of violence on public display, thereby compelling viewers to examine their own relationship to the brutality depicted.
