Limited Edition Winston Smith ANGER IS THE PILOT Art Print FUGAZI RARE 18”x24”
limited edition screen print by the legendary punk rock collage artist Winston Smith, titled "ANGER IS THE PILOT OF THE YOUNG SOUL".
The artwork reflects Smith's signature "hand-carved" collage style, which often uses satirical and politically charged imagery from vintage magazines to challenge social complacency.
A skull wearing a pilot's helmet and goggles is encased within a large black triangle, surrounded by phrases.
The top of the poster features the word "LIFE" in a stylized red box, parodying the iconic Life magazine logo—a common trope in Smith's work to subvert corporate symbols.
The background is a dense collage of punk-related headlines, band names, and gritty textures, featuring references to bands like Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, Circle Jerks, and Agent Orange [Image
The upward-pointing arrows and flight-themed text ("Pilot," "Fly") suggest a theme of youthful rebellion and high-energy nonconformity.
