Literature Makes America Great by Ray Wan

Prints

Each Creative Action Network poster is hand-printed and handled to make sure that only the highest quality is offered and sent out. The sturdy matte paper and premium inks create a vibrant, museum-quality image that looks great both framed and unframed. Posters are printed in Los Angeles, CA on Epson Enhanced Matte Paper heavyweight stock, with a wide color gamut and Epson UltraChrome HDR ink-jet technology. The framed poster arrives wrapped in a protective yet lightweight black frame and includes a shatter-resistant acrylite front protector that won't break during shipping. International orders may be subject to customs duties & taxes.

Artist Statement

A nation's strength is reflected in its literature, and the United States has given birth to some of the greatest writers of our time. My design celebrates the iconic literary figures of the early 20th century - Ernest Hemingway, Mark Twain, John Steinbeck - while recognizing that as white men, they only reflect a segment of the rich fabric that is America. Their excerpts serve as backdrop to a more inclusive collection of great works by American authors like Alice Walker, Maxine Hong Kingston, Junot Diaz, Khaled Hosseini and Hellen Keller. — Ray Wan
