About this work

This print shows a tall wooden post with two skulls carved into it—one at the top wearing glasses and a hat, the other below. The post is rough and textured, like real wood, with a few thin lines for ribs. On either side, there are two vertical panels: one with messy, overlapping letters and the other with a grid of small, blurry shapes. The skulls look like they’re stacked inside the post, almost like a strange pair. The letters on the left panel are hard to read but seem to spell out words in a jumbled way. This is an aquatint print by Jasper Johns.
