Protest Painting

Regular price $2,800.00

"Protest" by Al Gene Besser is a poignant painting from the 1958 Jack London Square Art Festival. It captures the spirit of the post-war civil rights, migrant rights, and free speech movements. The striking portrayal of faces embodies the ethos of a pivotal era in Bay Area history. Presented in a custom-made solid sapele frame, this artwork is a historical artifact and a timeless symbol of social resilience. Research indicates that the artist used the name Albert G. Besser later in life (1924-2001). Unknown mixed medium on canvas board.
