// 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 Performance Art?
Performance Art is a genre of fine art that is traditionally interdisciplinary, involving various art forms. It can be scripted or unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated, spontaneous, or meticulously planned, with or without audience participation. Performance Art can be presented live or through media, with the artist either present or absent. It typically involves four basic elements: space, the performer’s body or presence through a medium, time, and the relationship between performer and audience. The artwork consists of actions performed by an individual or group in a specific time and space.
