This painting looks like a face and a bird smashed together. The face has big, rounded shapes—one eye, a nose, and a mouth—all in warm orange and brown. Sharp black lines slice through it, making it feel like it’s breaking apart. The bird’s wing is on the left, with jagged edges and a mix of blue and green. The artist cut this print into 12 pieces of paper and pasted them together. That’s why it looks so uneven and layered. Next, check out lithography to see how prints like this are made.
