This is a black-and-white printed card with text on both sides. The visible side shows a script of a man named Hartmann yelling insults at a soldier called Private. The text is in plain, bold letters, filling the whole space. The scene looks like a heated argument with crude jokes and rude questions. The text is double-sided, meaning the other side has more words you’d have to flip to read. It’s not a painting but a printed piece—simple, direct, and full of sharp dialogue. Check out Fiona Banner to see how she turns text into art.
