Calavares (Angel of Death)
1970

A stylized print depicting a skeletal figure with large, dark wings and a red skull. The figure appears to be a fusion of human and bird elements, set against a background with abstract shapes and patterns in red and yellow. The artwork has a raw, expressive quality, with visible brush strokes and a limited color palette.
