Bertold Brecht homage. Bertoldt Brecht wrote "Three Penny Opera" (Beggar's Opera); Rick loved that play/musical and made several works over the years inspired by it. At the top of the print Rick wrote "Die Ballade von der sexuellen Hörigkeit" (Ballad of sexual compulsion)- a song in the play. Rick also wrote on the side of this work "The meaning of life is that ... it stops" Rick also depicts the German Artist Horst Janssen- the central figure... also - an artist that Rick admired grately (and knew).
