If Toulouse-Lautrec had been a 20th-century man with a taste for politics, his work would doubtless have resembled Tomi Ungerer's. In his work, we see the brilliant illustrator and graphic designer leveling his sure hand and distaste for hypocrisy at some of the major American issues of the late 1960s. A frequent target of his was the Vietnam War. Whether you agree with him of not, you have to admire the boldness of his designs. "Intelligent, keen and merciless... they remove all pretense and tell it like it is" (Ungerer Posters, p. 82).
