John Dove and Molly White
Framed 69 x 49 cm
In September 2012, for the private view of Dove and White's "Face to Face" exhibition at London's Paul Stolper Gallery, Paul Stolper wrote; "The spontaneous medium of printing T-shirts allowed Dove and White to comment and respond quickly to contemporary news and events, and to reach a much larger audience than any art gallery could provide, with ‘Exploding Mickey’, 1975, being the perfect example, where America, as represented by Mickey Mouse the face of Disney, now just another corporate global monster, with wild acid-warped eyes, and head ripped apart by missiles, highlights their disappointment in an America as world bully not only domestically in their treatment of the American Indians but also of their continued presence on Vietnam. The American dream turned rotten".
