Blumberg’s Statement:
These photographs were made in response to our government’s genocidal acts in Vietnam and its brutality at home. It became apparent to me several years ago that as our society deteriorated photographers as well as other visual artists would be confronted with the absurd luxury of their work. The traditional values of art, transcendent significance, beauty, the importance of basic creation and the integrity and historical continuity of the medium, collapse when reading and watching the daily news.
I wanted to make my work political, without metaphor, simile, sentimentality or heroics. I chose to transpose typography and images from daily newspapers, inherently direct political propaganda. They were small in format, visually transient. I wanted to fix them, inescapable in scale, for you to look at.
