I saw this photo of an apparently controversial painting in a thread. I couldn't really work out what it was supposed to depict. Is it obvious? Am I just an unsophisticated oik?

@paulpharoah In the context of American white supremacy: yeah, pretty clear and pretty disturbing on many levels. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Cask…
@GENES_PK Did you know the painting already? I am still struggling to get the image.
@GENES_PK I agree that the story is disturbing (once I knew what it depicted). I had wondered whether the impact of abstract art was reduced if it's not clear what it represents. But then wondered if what this represents is obvious to most people and it's just me that doesn't see it.
