About The Artwork
This work is inspired by the film, "The Man who Shot Liberty Valance" from about 1960. A myth had developed about a lawyer reputed to have shot a bully and a gunslinger. He becomes senator and in his later years he tells the press the truth about the episode. He hadn't shot Liberty Valance, someone else had (John Wayne). The newspaper man, upon hearing this tears up his notes and says, "when the legend becomes truth, print the legend".
