Untitled (Criminal Justice; A Satire)

Victor Szucs

Artist, American, born 1912

The image displays intricate shapes and lines creating a surreal composition. A large, muscular man wears a graduation cap and holds a mask in one hand while supporting a smaller figure in his other arm. Other smaller figures are entwined around him, some looking shackled or seated, resembling objects such as scales of justice and a sledgehammer. The interaction of these shapes evokes a sense of imbalance and tension.
