Punk Art Icon Winston Smith Opens Major Retrospective Show in Los Angeles

Punk rock montage artist and icon Winston Smith is having a major retrospective art show in LA at Copro Nason Gallery at the Bergamot Station art complex. Opens Saturday October 3rd from 8 PM to 11:30 PM. Winston will be in attendance.

Winston Smith's art has majorly influenced a generation of artists and designers. He is regarded by many observers as the most significant Western socio-political montage artist since Germany's John Heartfield. You can read more about him on Wikipedia or check out his 3 published collections: Act Like Nothing's Wrong, Artcrime and All Riot on the Western Front.

In related news, our friends at Buddha Cat Press and Paperworks Laboratories have teamed up to produce a jaw-dropping limited edition serigraph of the famous "Idol" image which graced the Dead Kennedys 2nd album or In God We Trust, Inc. The print will be available at the show and on the Paperworks Laboratories site (while supplies last of course).
