Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society Reviews Stars, Crosses, and Stripes

Tom Good reviewed "Stars, Crosses, and Stripes" in the Miscellanea and Ephemeron section of the Journal of the Lincoln Heights Literary Society. Good comments, "the challenge is to make the composition work both from across the room and from nearby, so that it invites the viewer to come closer and then provides some reward for doing so. Stars, Crosses & Stripes succeeds at this. [....] The use of the flag as the main visual element invites comparison with Jasper Johns' Flag.
