About the Art: The artist calls this work a kind of self-portrait. It’s the Angel of Death and also me," he says. "My spirit, moving with no specific course." The image was inspired by the tragic fate of the Queen Mary, which in 1942 accidentally struck an escort cruiser, the Curacoa, killing 101 of the 430 crew members on board. The artist saw a photograph of the damaged 975-foot ocean liner and thought it looked like the head of Death itself.
