Babylon 1961

"Babylon" is a 1961 print by American artist Sid Hammer (1926-1969). The print features a towering, abstracted figure with a large, open space within it. The figure's imposing presence and the use of dense, expressive lines create a sense of mystery and perhaps even menace. The viewer can only speculate on the meaning behind the image and the figure's relationship to the small, huddled figures at its base. The print likely references the biblical city of Babylon, known for its opulence and power, and may explore themes of societal control and the nature of power.
