Death Watch from Duke's Hill 1969

Rand Robbin's "Death Watch from Duke's Hill" (1969) uses a stark imagery of a human skull looming over a man running away from it. The background is a blurred image of a house, suggestive of a home being left behind. The looming skull represents the threat of death, while the man's desperate run signifies the fragility of life. The work is an expressive printmaking piece that conveys the artist's fascination with the themes of mortality and the inevitability of death.
