UC Davis Art Alum Created a Large Body of Work About Nuclear Weapons

With the movie Oppenheimer drawing big crowds to see the story of J. Robert Oppenheimer, who led the development of the atomic bomb, it’s a good time to catch up with UC Davis alumnus Stephen Whisler (B.A., art, ‘76), who created many works connected to the bombs dropped on Japan. These include a sculpture the same size as the original “Fat Man” bomb and a version of the “Little Boy” bomb that has been part of performances and many drawings and prints.
