Quittin' Time / Cooper, Ian., 1980

Identifier: CC-18837-19215
Scope and Contents

This print depicts two large, smashed cigarette butts in the foreground of a ravine devoid of vegatation. There is a pile of smoking cigarette butts in the background and the sky has a face of a clock substituted for the moon with the time of 5:00 o'clock. The image can be interpreted as symbolizing the emptiness of the smoking habit during the working hours. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
