About this work

This black-and-white image shows a person from behind, leaning against a brick wall. They’re wearing a suit jacket, striped dress shirt, and dark pants. The wall casts a sharp shadow on the ground, and the words *"MISTAH KURTZ—HE NOT DEAD"* are written in bold letters along the bricks. The text is a direct quote from Joseph Conrad’s *Heart of Darkness*, but the painting itself is a modern take. The artist used a printing method that lets them repeat the image on both sides of the paper. Look up lithography to see how this kind of print works.
