Richard Glazer Danay brings his irreverent wit and Pop Art sensibility to bear in this bold reworking of an American icon. At the center, a green, glittering silhouette of Mickey Mouse raises two pistols in a cartoonish Western stance, set against a dark ground animated by sketched cats that drift like background noise or afterimages. Along the left, right, and bottom edges, thick bands of the same green glitter frame the scene, each topped with a marching procession of bison—part parade, part border, part provocation.

A longtime figure aligned with the Pop Art movement, Glazer Danay was drawn to mass media imagery, cartoons, and consumer symbols, using them to expose the absurdity and violence embedded in American mythology. Here, Mickey’s playful familiarity collides with guns, frontier posturing, and Indigenous symbolism, collapsing entertainment, power, and history into a single stage. The work exemplifies Glazer Danay’s personality-driven practice—satirical, mischievous, and pointed—where humor becomes a sharp tool for critique and Pop iconography is repurposed to question who controls the narrative and why.
