About this work

This image shows a drypoint print of abstract figures. The figures are drawn in black lines on a grey background, with some lines scratched into the surface. The figures are abstract, but they seem to be people or creatures. They are arranged in a loose composition, with some figures overlapping or interacting with each other. The print is signed by the artist, Erich Heckel, in the bottom-right corner. The signature is small and difficult to read, but it is clear that the artist was trying to create a sense of movement and energy in the print. The print is held at The Museum of Modern Art.
