DescriptionBlack-and-white poster with vertically arranged dyptich. The upper image depicts a line drawing of a radioactive mushroom cloud, a faceless child crawling inside the cloud, and three angelic figures flying. The bottom image portrays a set of stairs terminating in a colossal human form whose arms form a pair of faceless individuals. Two other figures climb the stairs on either side, with glowing rods that may represent radioactive elements. Zig zags, swirls and curved lines fill the interstitial spaces, and an atom is drawn at bottom-center with the date "1982."On View
