This print invites reasoning, provocation and negotiation of absurdist scenarios involving ideas around mass-produced Vogue covers, social realism and modern European masters. Putting himself back in time, he took inspiration from mass-produced pochoir covers of Vogue and a hard-to-place artist Ben Shawn. As a result the print includes a zebra, reminiscent of A.E. Marty’s famous Vogue cover. The zebra is rearing up in front of a fire, the flames drawn from a Shawn image. He says ‘somehow to my mind these are emblematic of a moment just before the authority of Modernism began to collapse.’
