Much of Jacqueline Morreau's work has dealt with political and social issues. Although controversial when first shown, over the years it has come to reflect more orthodox views, as what had been radical attitudes towards feminism and anti-war protest became more widely accepted. None the less, the opposition to war depicted in Morreau's triptych in After Hiroshima remains as topical and valid now as it was at the time of the first Gulf Oil War.
