DescriptionBlack and white print of four nude figures whose body postures spell out F, U, C, K. From the left, a man with his head bent forward to the right to fit within the frame of the print and his proper right forearm bent at a 90-degree angle. He holds the feet of a woman lying on her elbows, extending her legs up to the left, her body forming a U shape. She appears to look out at the viewer. Above her, a man facing right curving his body into a C. Part of his face is cut off by the head of the K figure, who stands on his proper right leg and extends his proper left leg forward; his proper right forearm arm is bent upward at a 45-degree angle. He looks out at the viewer.ProvenanceC. Richard Belger and Evelyn Craft Belger, Kansas City, MO;
