Originally produced at the end of the artists' Rebel T-shirt session of 1979 and then rereleased in the 1980s as part of a wider run of eight photomontage prints, this 2009 reissue was hand-printed by Dove and White from the original 1970s screens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition layers a red pin-up figure against a vertical missile, beneath the title set in cut-out ransom-note typography across the left of the chest in red, black and yellow, with greenish-yellow ground washes pulled across the surface — sex bomb and atomic bomb collapsed into a single image in the Cold War nuclear-age visual register that ran across British political T-shirt design in the late 1970s. At the studio's print table the makers deliberately kept the number of screens to a minimum, using them as if they were paintbrushes — changing color and shape at random across the surface so that no two pulls came out identical. The design belongs to the wider body of work — Rebel, Face, and the associated photomontage series — that placed Dove and White at the centre of British political and pop-graphic T-shirt practice across the late Seventies into the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e28 3\/4 × 16 9\/16 inches (73 × 42 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JOHN DOVE \u0026 MOLLY WHITE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48505468420345,"sku":"JP0526178","price":950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/2783\/5385\/files\/JP0526178_1_85557e7b-6fd8-45b4-bed9-33ea755dd71d.jpg?v=1781099717","url":"https:\/\/shop.joopiter.com\/products\/mkt-john-dove-and-molly-white-john-dove-molly-white-too-hot-to-handle-t-shirt","provider":"Joopiter","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
