"New World Odor"
Mark Vallen 1991
Silkscreen - 23" x 29" inches

The silkscreen print New World Odor was included in the exhibit, JUST ANOTHER POSTER? - Chicano Graphic Arts in California, a historic collection of Chicano artworks from the 70's to the present that traveled to museums across the US.

Artist's statement:

"My print draws inspiration from the traditional iconography of the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) celebrations of Mexico. Created in 1991, my print was meant as a comment on the realignment of power in the world. The new epoch began with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the bombing of Iraq."
