In the article “An Artist for the Moment,” Paul Von Blum wrote: “Hazelwood’s highly detailed woodcuts, etchings, lithographs, and book projects make him the legitimate heir of major political artists including Posada, Kollwitz, Daumier, and Goya. His recent works respond in imaginative ways to the present crises and the barbaric “leaders” who have created them…. Here, in this work [The Tipping Point], is the central image of George Floyd’s body, surrounded by concealed, anonymous, military-like police officers. Behind them is the chief instigator, Donald Trump, and his cabal, including Klansmen. Trump’s decades of racism, and his present policies, give rise to such brutalities. At the left are the multiracial protestors with their signs, signifying the larger revolts going on throughout the world.”
