// Raw War by Bruce Nauman is a lithograph created in 1971 that starkly presents a bold commentary on conflict and violence. This artwork features the words RAW and WAR in intense, glowing red-orange letters, almost like neon signs, against a dark, shadowy background. The letters are layered and mirrored, creating an effect of disorientation and ambiguity, as if reflecting the cyclical and chaotic nature of war. Nauman’s choice of stark colors and contrasting light emphasizes the visceral impact of these words, inviting viewers to reflect on the brutal simplicity and tragic repetitiveness of war. Limited to an edition of 100, this print encapsulates Nauman's provocative style and his ability to convey powerful messages through minimalistic yet impactful design.

What is minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
