<p>Nancy Spero graduated from SAIC in 1949. She received an honorary doctorate from SAIC in 1991. This lithograph was created at the Graphic Workshop run by her friends and classmates Ellen Lanyon and Roland Ginzel. At this early stage in the artist’s career, she was already influenced by the style and format of figures found on Egyptian and Etruscan sarcophagi—images she had seen firsthand at Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History and the Oriental Institute of University of Chicago, and later in Italy, where she lived with her husband, Leon Golub.</p>
