Please help me find an art photograph of a portly white American man sitting on a park bench surrounded by starving Africans.

I saw this striking photograph online a couple of years ago. It is black and white. The man is balding and wearing a black shirt and looking at the camera. That is about all I can remember about it.

Thanks for your help.

Is it this picture by Dorothea Lange?

4ster, do you mean starving Africans, i.e. the photograph was taken in Africa, or do you mean African-Americans (who might be undernourished but rarely starve)?

A189Nut, Thanks, but that's not the one.

dhartung: I am pretty sure they were Africans, as they exhibited the signs of extreme starvation seldom seen in the U.S.
