The Cry of the Wounded Earth
1965

A surreal artwork featuring a large, abstract profile of a human head in the foreground with a muted color palette. The background is a dreamlike scene with a figure in white, possibly an angel, with wings outstretched, accompanied by a moon-like orb and a partial view of another figure. The image has a textured, ethereal quality, with dark and light areas creating a sense of depth. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
