Johnny Cash at San Quentin (the 'finger' photograph) · Jim Marshall, 1969
Guitar held low in one hand, the other thrust up at the lens, the stare going straight into it. The gesture is softened to a V under the line FREAKY PEACE. The show is Nashville, which is where that photograph was aimed.
“After” is the old gallery word for a work made in open conversation with another. It is a lineage, not a shortcut.
