Hail and Farewell
1930

A black and white print depicting a stylized figure of a man with arms raised and tied to a ladder, set against a dark background with vertical lines suggesting rain. The figure appears to be wearing a loincloth and is in a pose reminiscent of crucifixion. There is text and signatures at the bottom of the print.
