About this work

This abstract painting is a jumble of lines and squiggles in brown and red. It's like a messy drawing, but it's actually a carefully made print. The lines are all different thicknesses and directions, and they overlap each other in complicated ways. If you look closely, you can see that some of the lines are made up of lots of tiny dots or dashes. This technique is called cross-hatching, and it's a way of creating different shades and textures in a print. The artist, Bernard Childs, was an American printmaker who worked in the mid-20th century. If you want to see more of Childs' work, you could check out his other prints at The Museum of Modern Art.
