DescriptionChaim Koppelman was profoundlyaffected by his study of Aesthetic Realism wiht its founder, Eli Siegal. He saw the print as a crucial medium, and the technical opposites of black and white as a vivid means of showing the relation of opposites in people. He saw the idea of death in its largeness and finality as a way of stopping evil in their lives.
