Note:
Six collaged images. Four photo-silkscreened, large 1 1/2" letters at the bottom. Colors are magenta, red, black, gold,
green, blue, yellow, and white. Center blue television has an image of "The Creation," Michelangelo's Sistene Chapel's forearms,
two fingers touching. There also is a negative image of agricultural workers from the Phillipines on a light green background.
"The print is called...AND HIS image was multiplied...and is referred to the alienation that the people who live in a super
metropolis experience. Human beings are separated from a direct contact with nature. The 'her son' became a mere reflection
of self, these entities are defined by the image of them within the little box of a television set." G. Bert.
