Goodbye to All That!

Two early issues of this alternative/underground “newspaper for San Diego women” included anti-war photomontages by Martha Rosler from her House Beautiful: Bringing the War Home (1967–1972) series. Rosler, who worked in the collective for Goodbye to All That!, placed her photomontages (indebted to the example of John Heartfield in 1930s Germany) in this publication to produce a critique not only of mass-circulation magazines such as Life, but also of the contemporary art world’s indifference to political engagements with the Vietnam War and the financial interests of patrons, collectors, dealers and museum trustees in the conflict.
