About this work

This print shows a wavy blue landscape with a grid of lines crisscrossing the bottom half. The top is mostly smooth, with a few darker blue streaks that look like hills or waves. The whole thing feels a little blurry, like it was drawn fast or with a tool that smudges. The artist used a method where ink is pressed onto a flat stone, then transferred to paper—this makes the lines look slightly uneven. The blue shades are all soft, with no sharp edges. Next, check out lithography to see how this printing trick works.
