Symbolic double portrait of Armenian-American author William Saroyan and his son, poet Aram Saroyan. An expressionistic image of the elder Saroyan is on the left panel, with "Bill Saroyan" in script below his head. The right panel features an abstract, deeply carved background with only the name "Aram" remaining in the block, embodying the minimalist writing style of the younger Saroyan.
