Untitled
1964, printed 1966

A monochromatic artwork featuring a grainy, high-contrast image of a person bending forward with their hands on their thighs. Large, bold text overlays the bottom of the image, reading "ad man do it justice." Smaller text is partially visible in the background, suggesting the presence of additional content or context. The overall effect is gritty and abstract.
