2009.11.6: Hunger, from the portfolio "Hunger"
PrintsBold dark lines and dark, textured shading depict two figures at an empty table in a cramped room. At center, the larger figure, with a bald, exaggeratedly large head, hunches forward. His Brow is furrowed and he stares forward and off to the left. His chin touches his arm which rests on a bare table. Behind his large curled hand is the face of a small child with a similar round head and a wide-eyed stare. Directly behind them on the wall is a gridded window.
