Martha Rosler, Positions in the Life World In the 1967–72 series "Bringing the War Home," Rosler made John Heartfield-like photocollages of disfigured Vietnamese waiting patiently on suburban patios; the images were disconcerting, but immediately obvious. At the end of the string, though, was "First Lady," and real art: Pat Nixon posing proudly in a full-length formal gold gown, while over her shoulder in a gilt-framed mirror, Faye Dunaway was being shot to pieces at the end of Bonnie and Clyde. Not many thought that was a Vietnam movie when they walked out of the theaters, but, like Rosler, a lot of people knew. — Greil Marcus |
