Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

This collage depicts an African American male figure beneath a tree with his mouth open and his arms crossed over his chest. The man faces an abstracted monumental human-like figure. This abstract figure appears a white shape with two truncated arms and an abstracted head, above swaths of black and brown atop a square base in blocks and stripes of blue, orange and yellow. The two figures appear on a green hillside under a tree that appears to have fruit or flowers in red and yellow. It is signed by the artist on the front bottom right corner.
