Night mission by Stephen Ham is about the outgrowth of direct experience and the potency of this image (right) lies in its unreality, which permits Stephen to convey thoughts beyond wonder, and get to the emotional heart of the war. Anthony F. Janson |

The screams I hear
belong to the men who are still burning in my head.
He burns like oil on water. He burns like no gas. He moves for his M-16. I pull him away. His skin comes off in my hand... Memorial Day |

Because of the general unwillingness among Vietnam veteran artists to express a personal view about the political rights and wrongs of war, the word oriented art so common in post modernism, Juxtaposing text and image, is largely absent from their work. Those who use this approach do so very effectively, especially on an intimate scale! The greeting cards of Stephen Ham are brief, but eloquent personal statements. Anthony F. Janson |
