This print shows two old objects on a table. On the left is a small radio with a gold dial and a few knobs. To the right is a metal grill, like the kind used for pressing sandwiches. The background is dark, and the objects cast sharp shadows. The radio’s face looks handwritten, almost messy. The grill has a brand name stamped on it, but it’s hard to read. The whole scene feels like a still-life photo, but it’s actually a printed image. If you like this mix of ordinary objects, check out etching to see how artists use printmaking.
