About this work

You see a tangle of sharp, jagged lines in black ink on white paper. The marks look like they were made fast, almost angry. Džamonja drew this in 1960, right after Yugoslavia’s break with Stalin. The raw energy in the lines feels like a reaction to that political shake-up—no softness, just tension. It’s not about a scene; it’s about the act of drawing itself. If you like this, try looking up cross-hatching next.
