KUROMIYA, Kiyoshi (1943–2000), designer. FUCK THE DRAFT. New York: The Dirty Linen Corp., [1968]. Photographic lithograph (29 ½ x 20 ½”) depicting a young man burning his draft card in a symbolic act of defiance. Designed by famed activist Kiyoshi Kuromiya under the pseudonym Dirty Linen Corp, this poster was distributed via mail order, with suggestions to mail a copy to mothers, and even the White House.

Linen backed. A.
