Untitled ["tattoo" book] 1971

This 1971 work by James McCracken Jr. is a simple, black and white print depicting a skeletal figure with a large, spiky head. The figure is curled around itself, suggesting a fetal or introspective position. The minimalist style and stark imagery are characteristic of McCracken's work, which often explored themes of death, mortality, and the human condition. This artwork is a unique piece from the artist's "tattoo" book, a collection of works that captures a raw and powerful aesthetic.
