J. E. “Bud” Clark was Portland’s populist left leaning Mayor from 1985 to 1992. As mayor he developed a plan for Portland’s homeless population and supported mass transit including the light rail system.However he may be best known for the poster Expose Yourself to Art depicting him in a raincoat “exposing” himself to Kvinneakt, a statue in downtown Portland
I had forgotten about this image until Kit Grauer sent me an email and this image. She wrote, “Just found this image of Graeme and I exposing ourselves to art as a take off on the Portland mayor’s piece done twenty five years ago. We have been trying to learn from Portland and Visual Culture for a long time!”
