The Masses; His Reverence: "Thus, friends, we see the masses filled with a vague, unchristian spirit of discontent.

Artist Sloan visualized author Pollock musing over Harun-al-Rashid, who so frequently locked his crown in the cellarette, dressed in the clothes of a beggar, and went off for the evening
