Untitled/Green Power 1975

David Hammons' 1975 work, "Untitled/Green Power," uses a simple but evocative image of a handprint with green handprints layered on top.

Hammons, known for his use of found objects and everyday materials, incorporates this idea of simplicity into the artwork, highlighting the powerful impact of the human touch.
