Benny Andrews’ 1970 painting, *No More Games*, is a large-scale work that depicts a powerful and unsettling scene. On the left panel, a young Black man sits with a stoic expression, seemingly observing the events unfolding on the right. The right panel showcases a figure wrapped in the American flag, submerged in a sea of blood and partially obscured by a large serpent. This powerful image uses symbolism and strong contrasts to evoke a sense of tension and social commentary, likely referencing the political and racial turmoil of the late 1960s and early 1970s.
