This image is a black and white poster that prominently features a slice of bread with text overlaid on it. The main message on the slice of bread reads "WE SELL WHITE BREAD", written in large, bold letters.

To the right of the bread, the following text is displayed:
"INGREDIENTS: WHITE MEN, ARTIFICIAL FLAVORINGS, PRESERVATIVES.
*CONTAINS LESS THAN THE MINIMUM DAILY REQUIREMENT OF WHITE WOMEN, AND NON-WHITES."

Beneath this, smaller text states: "A PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE FROM GUERRILLA GIRLS, CONSCIENCE OF THE ART WORLD". Below this is an address: "P.O. BOX 1056 NEW YORK 10276".

At the top left corner, the source is cited as: "SOURCE: ART IN AMERICA ANNUAL 1986".

The design is stark, with the black background contrasting sharply with the white text and imagery. The overall aesthetic is intentionally reminiscent of an advertising campaign but carries a satirical and critical message regarding diversity and representation in the art world.

This image shows a graphic poster with a black background and white text, evoking the appearance of an information label. On the upper left corner, it reads "SOURCE: ART IN AMERICA ANNUAL 1986". Dominating the upper portion of the poster is the phrase "WE SELL WHITE BREAD" in large, bold letters that mimic the texture of bread. Below this text, a list styled like a nutritional label states:

"INGREDIENTS: WHITE MEN
ARTIFICIAL FLAVORINGS,
PRESERVATIVES.

*CONTAINS LESS THAN THE MINIMUM DAILY REQUIREMENT OF WHITE WOMEN, AND NON-WHITES"

Below the list, a statement reads "A PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE FROM GUERRILLA GIRLS CONSCIENCE OF THE ART WORLD" followed by an address "P.O. BOX 1056 NEW YORK 10276".

The overall design and the language used in the poster suggest it is a satirical or critical piece, likely commenting on the lack of diversity or representation in the art world, specifically referring to the year 1986 as its source. The phrase "WE SELL WHITE BREAD" along with the mock nutritional information seems to be making a symbolic comparison to homogeneity or the predominance of white males in that context. The "Guerrilla Girls" are known for their feminist activism in the art world, using posters and art to bring attention to inequality and discrimination in the art industry.

This is a provocative piece of protest art from 1986, published in Art in America Annual. It's designed to look like a food label or ingredient list, using that format to make a critical statement about representation and inequality in the art world. The piece was created by the Guerrilla Girls, an activist art group known for highlighting discrimination in the art world. The text is presented in white against a black background, formatted like a nutrition label, but instead of food ingredients, it lists "ingredients" that critique the demographics of the art world at that time. The piece uses satire and the familiar format of product labeling to make its point about systemic inequality in the arts. It includes a New York P.O. box address and identifies itself as a "public service message."

This is a piece of protest art from 1986, published in Art in America Annual. It's designed to look like a food label or advertisement, with "WE SELL WHITE BREAD" in bold letters against a white bread-like background. The piece includes mock "ingredients" and nutritional information that serves as social commentary about representation in the art world. It was created by the Guerrilla Girls, an activist art group known for calling attention to discrimination in the art world. The piece uses the metaphor of white bread - often criticized as being bland and lacking nutritional value - to make a statement about the lack of diversity in the art world. The mailing address listed is in New York, and the group identifies themselves as "conscience of the art world." The stark black and white design mimics commercial advertising while delivering a pointed critique of institutional bias.

The image features a provocative poster with a black background and white text. The poster appears to be a parody of a food product advertisement. The central image is a slice of bread with a distressed, aged look, giving it a sense of decay or staleness. The text reads "WE SELL WHITE BREAD" in bold, capitalized letters. The poster also includes a list of "ingredients" and a "public service message" from "Guerrilla Girls," a collective of feminist artists known for their provocative and critical commentary on gender and racial inequalities in the art world.

The "ingredients" listed are satirical and include "White Men," "Artificial Flavorings," and "Preservatives." The "public service message" states, "*CONTAINS LESS THAN THE MINIMUM DAILY REQUIREMENT OF WHITE WOMEN, AND NON-WHITES." The poster concludes with "A PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE FROM GUERRILLA GIRLS, CONSCIENCE OF THE ART WORLD" and a P.O. Box address in New York City.

This image is a clear example of the Guerrilla Girls' style of using humor and irony to critique and expose the systemic biases and inequalities in the art world, particularly regarding the underrepresentation of women and people of color. The use of a food product advertisement format adds a layer of irony and shock value, making the message more impactful and memorable.

The image is a black and white poster or advertisement with a sardonic tone. On the left side is a rough, stippled illustration of a slice of white bread. Overlaid on the bread are the words "WE SELL WHITE BREAD" in a bold, sans-serif font.

To the right of the bread, the following text appears: "INGREDIENTS: WHITE MEN ARTIFICIAL FLAVORINGS, PRESERVATIVES. *CONTAINS LESS THAN THE MINIMUM DAILY REQUIREMENT OF WHITE WOMEN, AND NON-WHITES." This text mimics the format of a food label, but instead of listing actual food ingredients, it references a perceived lack of diversity in the art world or other spheres.

Below this, the text continues: "A PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE FROM GUERRILLA GIRLS CONSCIENCE OF THE ART WORLD P.O. BOX 1056 NEW YORK 10276." This identifies the Guerrilla Girls, a feminist activist artist group, as the source of the message. The poster's source is listed on the top left of the image as the "ART IN AMERICA ANNUAL 1986".

This image is a poster by the Guerrilla Girls, an anonymous group of feminist activist artists. It's a satirical commentary on the art world's lack of diversity in 1986.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Overall Design: The poster uses a stark black and white color scheme.

  • The Bread Loaf: In the image's center is a large, textured image of a slice of white bread. The words "WE SELL WHITE BREAD" are printed in large, bold white font over the bread. This visually represents the concept of white men dominating the art world and the lack of representation for other groups.

  • Textual Content:

    • "Ingredients" List: To the right of the bread, the poster lists the "ingredients" of the bread, but these are meant as a satirical reference to the art world: "WHITE MEN, ARTIFICIAL FLAVORINGS, PRESERVATIVES."
    • Asterisked Statement: A footnote says "*CONTAINS LESS THAN THE MINIMUM DAILY REQUIREMENT OF WHITE WOMEN, AND NON-WHITES." This makes the critique of the underrepresentation of these groups explicit.
    • "A Public Service Message From...": The Guerrilla Girls identify themselves here. They use the name "GUERRILLA GIRLS CONSCIENCE OF THE ART WORLD" and provide a PO box address in New York.
  • Source: In the upper left corner it says "SOURCE: ART IN AMERICA ANNUAL 1986." The Guerrilla Girls often use data, facts, and other information, and present it in a way that is humorous and makes a strong point.

  • Message: The poster is a provocative commentary on the sexism and racism that the Guerrilla Girls saw in the art world at the time. The white bread metaphor works on two levels: it represents the whiteness of the art world, and the idea of something bland and uninspired. The "ingredients" list and footnote further highlight the group's message of diversity and inclusivity.
