Lynd Ward (American, 1905-1985). Wild Pilgrimage, 1932. Woodcut, (no size listed). Cleveland Museum of Art (source)

“Wild Pilgrimage is the third wordless novel of American artist Lynd Ward (1905–1985), published in 1932. It was executed in 108 monochromatic wood engravings, printed alternately in black ink when representing reality and orange to represent the protagonist’s fantasies. The story tells of a factory
worker who abandons his workplace to seek a free life; on his travels he
witnesses a lynching, assaults a farmer’s wife, educates himself with a
hermit, and upon returning to the factory leads an unsuccessful
workers’ revolt. The protagonist finds himself battling opposing
dualities such as freedom versus responsibility, the individual versus
society, and love versus death. … The seeming homoeroticism in the artwork drew attention, such as the
prominent rear shots of the protagonist, the sort of imagery that
prompted Susan Sontag to note Ward’s work in her 1964 essay “Notes on ‘Camp’”. (source)
