This painting is made of words cut into wood. The letters are stacked in tall, uneven columns. Some words are red, some purple. The bottom line is bigger and bolder than the rest. The text looks like it’s about water and land, but it’s hard to read. The artist carved each letter by hand. That’s called a woodcut. Look up woodcut next to see how it works.
