We Must Not Accept War As a Normal Way of Life
1971

A graphic print featuring three green figures resembling soldiers with orange highlights, marching with rifles against a blue background. Above them, in white cursive text, it reads "We must not accept," with the word "WAR" in large orange block letters. Below the soldiers, the phrase continues in white text, "as a normal way of life." The artist's signature and the year 1971 are in the bottom left corner, with a print number and studio mark in the bottom right.
