Study for 1965 wood engraving and 1966 screenprints. Shows three stages of man.
From file:
This is a study for Shahn's (1898-1969) same-titled 1965 wood engraving and two screenprints (Prescott 68, 69, and 246). The Ecclesiastes subject shows three stages of man by combining three human and three animal heads. Printed when Shahn was in his late sixties, near the end of his career, the screenprints quote from Ecclesiastes 11:9, recalling the artist's younger years, "Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth."Made/Created
