Wi' Girning O' His Chaps, 1888. A deathly figure, totally distinct from reality, scythe in hand, lurching toward the outskirts of the etching. This piece is concerned solely with aesthetics and precision. He is seen 'cultivating ugliness' [Studio 1921] in this skull-ridden figure, yet Strang never fails to outdo the notion of the unpleasant itself, with the power of beautiful craftsmanship.
