About this work

This print shows a group of figures moving together in a dark, swirling space. One person in a long robe leads, holding what looks like a staff, while others follow closely behind. The lines are sharp and dramatic, with thick black shapes against a light background. The artist used a technique called *linoleum cut*—carving into linoleum to make the print. The strong contrasts and bold lines give it a powerful, almost urgent feel. Look up The Museum of Modern Art to see more prints like this.
