Rene Mederos Obituary and link to images
Shepard Fairy Appropriated a Mederos Image (Article)
In this short video, i page through a book of Rene’s iconic Vietnam silkscreens. He created these images in 1972 during his second visit to North Vietnam, and everything depicted was witnessed by him.
These images were first published as silkscreens in a large format, and later a few hundred copies of this book were produced: each image had to be redone in miniature form in a process that Rene described to me as something only possible – “because we were crazy!”
My copy was given to me by Rene, and he added a dedication, which i read whenever i want to feel his presence.
