<p>The image features a striking black-and-white mural by Marc Bauer, displayed at the Menil Drawing Institute from September 22, 2023, to Summer 2024. The artwork is composed of a collection of drawings that weave together a rich array of images and scenes. Figures are depicted in various actions, and there are sketches that resemble historical and contemporary references, alongside diagrams and text. The expansive piece seems to tell multiple stories, with each section contributing to a larger, interconnected narrative. This mural offers a complex, layered exploration of themes, encapsulated within a singular panoramic view.</p>
