About this work

This is a simple black line drawing of a leafy plant. The lines are clean and smooth, with five broad leaves branching from a central stem. The whole thing sits against a plain, light background. The artist used just ink and paper—no colors or shading. It’s part of a set of eight prints made in the early 1980s. If you like this kind of minimal art, check out lithography to see how it’s made.
