  • The X song "The Hungry Wolf" drew inspiration from a painting called "The Lone Wolf" by the Polish artist Alfred Kowalski (1849-1915) that dates to about 1890. The print was very popular in America in the 1930s and 1940s - many of X's generation remember seeing it in their grandparents' houses.
