His work often involves language, human interaction, and the cultural and social implications of visual symbols. Adopting the role of artist-mediator, he uses subversive, ironic, and wryly comic elements to establish meaning. Raw-War is one of Nauman's early "word-play" prints, in which he chooses single words, phrases, or idioms to provoke the viewer to seek the underlying and often-nuanced truths about the human condition. This lithograph was produced during the Vietnam War and serves as a statement on the high human cost of warfare. http://www.artsconnected.org/resource/107503/raw-war-gallery-label-current Bruce Nauman has throughout his career explored unconventional forms of art and new ways of thinking about what art could be.
