About this work

This print shows a dark background with two pale, wavy shapes. One looks like a person lying down, the other like a curled-up animal. Thin, light lines float above them like clouds or smoke. The artist used a printmaking method called aquatint. It lets them create soft, watery tones instead of sharp lines. Look up André Masson to see more of his dreamlike, loose drawings.
