Description

In the early 1980s, Murray produced and amazing anatomical drawing that is literally an antiabortion poster. Fallopian tubes and embryos are drawn in blue and washed with pink; innocent beings are in danger. Murray said, “this is telling ladies not to kill they babies before they born.” Minimal red calligraphic symbols spell out the message.
