Artist, American, 1935 - 2002

The image shows a shirtless man seen from behind, with his upper body and arms fully visible. He is arching backward, with his left arm extended upwards and his right arm out to the side. His head is turned slightly to the right, obscuring his facial features, and he has short hair and wears a bracelet on his left wrist. In the background, there is a construction site with scaffolding and boarded structures, one of which has a partially visible sign with text. The scene is monochromatic and depicts a moment in an urban environment.
