A pixel-like silkscreen print of someone lying on the ground. Their face is turned to the side, seemingly hurt. There are faint spots of red, implying blood.

Label copy

I’ve always invited and courted the marginal, tight-rope life I’ve lived;

In each painting is a grabbing back to balance:

I’ve justified my life, and accepted the price because of them.

I don’t work; they come and save me like angels.

William Congdon to Belle Gardner, May 5, 1954
