    It's from the movie Howl in Ginsberg's apartment. It's the woodcut on the right. I'm sure I've seen it before and I kept thinking about it the whole way through the movie. Can anyone tell me what it is?

    Is it reminding you of Edward munches the scream?

    A little I guess now that you mention it but I'm sure I've seen that exact print somewhere. I think I remember seeing it in a Jewish museum or a Holocaust article...

    I wonder if the image is a scratchboard print by Eric Drooker? He created the original graphic novel "Howl" on which the movie is based. If I find a proper reference for you, I will post it here. :)
