Four Evils
In Four Evils, Uncle Sam is cast as the devil and holds a trident whose prongs are emblazoned with the words "militarism," "racism," "poverty," and "pollution." Garcia marshals a bold, graphic style in his practice that calls attention to misuses of power and authority. The print was included in a portfolio published by the Poor People’s Campaign, an organization committed to fighting for social, economic, and environmental justice.
