This art by Leon Golub titled, “Vietnam II” (1973) stood for the strong popular position of being against the Vietnam War. The Vietnam war enlisted millions of Americans in the draft and hundreds of thousands of Americans died due to the tactical and witty guerrilla warfare employed by the Vietnamese. This piece of art is important because it symbolized a time where the United States of America was fighting a war that was very unpopular with its people. America right now is fighting wars that are very unpopular with its people, therefore this art piece is highly relevant.
