Description

This horror lithograph shows an abstract scene of Sue's system as the title states. The motifs of death of faces above and below create this uneasy feeling. The top face combined with flowers has this expression of fear and anguish being melded with the face below. The flowers and lines give the idea that this is also a representation of a tree. This horrific piece is done with such expressive nature that it is hard to look away.
