About this work

This print is mostly black and white. You see rough, smudged shapes that look like buildings stacked on top of each other. Some dark lines cut across the middle, making it feel uneven. The edges are jagged, like the paper was torn or scratched. The artist used a messy, almost accidental style—no clean lines or clear details. The paper has a textured look, like it was layered or rubbed. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
