DescriptionDouble portrait in bright reds, yellows, purples, blues and greens in an expressionistic style. A full-length figure on the left has a halo, arms outstretched and arrows piercing his body. "LOVE" and "THEM" are painted on the figure's feet. The head and shoulders of a second figure with a beard occupy the 2nd half of the frame, with green crucifixes painted on his forehead. Text throughout reads: "LOVE YOUR COUNTRY" and "AND LOVE ME". Smaller silhouettes of figures in black and yellow feature throughout the composition, with arms outstretched.Collections
