Label TextHere, lanyon illustrates the 1972 presidential election. As candidates President Richard Nixon and Senator George McGovern campaign through television advertisements, the public ignores the debate. lanyon's style is adaptive to rendering the fervor of a political issue or the delicacy of human experience.
