Ron Miyashiro is perhaps the least famous and certainly the most mysterious of the four artists in the 1961 War Babies exhibition at the Huysman Gallery in Los Angeles. Jerry McMillan’s cheeky publicity photograph presents the four with foods and utensils associated with their religions and ethnicities—Jewish Larry Bell chewing on a bagel, African American Ed Bereal eating a slice of watermelon, Catholic Joe Goode with a tin of mackerel, and the Japanese American Miyashiro holding chopsticks—gathered around a table draped in the American ag. Like McMillan’s photograph, Miyashiro’s Concord #10 corrals highly charged cultural symbols and condenses them into a single potent artwork.
