Notes:

• The original photo received the Pulitzer Prize for ‘Spot News Photography’ in 1969 under the name ‘Saigon Execution’. Nowadays it is often captioned as ‘General Nguyen Ngoc Loan executing a Viet Cong prisoner in Saigon’.
• For such an iconic photo and a well documented event, it is surprising that so many people cannot eloquently explain the context of this image, summarizing it to ‘a bad guy killing a good guy’. Please take a moment to learn more about the incident by clicking here and here.
• If you are aware of additional artworks derived from the original photo, please send details and links by leaving a comment or sending an email.
• If you enjoyed this post, please make sure you check back in a month or so, as additional artworks will be added.
