Art: The Tiger is Out

June 6, 2020 1:38 PM

Looking for a piece of art I saw on Twitter within the past two weeks, referring to the poem "The Tiger Is Out", almost certainly associated with the BLM protests. It was black and white. The tiger was scraggly and wild eyed and snarling with a rope noose around its neck, the broken end of the rope flailing. Kind of a dynamic three quarter portrait facing the right? I've been trying to find it again and I'm seeing similar artistic concepts but not this exact one that really struck me.

This perhaps?

Response by poster: Hmm, no, I only remember black and white being used; also, it was a portrait of the head, I don't remember the body being involved!

Sorry, the last one I posted too hastily without fully reading and couldn’t delete.

I thought of this, which has a panther instead of a tiger, but it's probably not the one you're thinking of.
