About this work

This print shows two stark, black-and-white images side by side. On the left, a shadowy figure stands in a dark space, their face hidden by what looks like a hood or mask. The right side shows a red outline of a person mid-jump, arms spread wide, with a gray, smudged body inside. The words *"they will torture you, my friend"* are scrawled in messy handwriting across the top. The artist signed it in the corner—Nancy Spero and Leon Golub worked together on this.
