The drawing consists of a grid of eight subdivisions containing figures of Russian-Jewish extraction and surrealistic creatures, imagery commonly employed by Gruskin in his oeuvre. The calligraphic Hebrew in red and black inks in each of the subdivisions is nontranslatable and Kabbalistic in sensibility, recalling the use for similar purposes by the American artist Wallace Berman. A few words in the Cyrillic alphabet are also present. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
