About this work

This drawing shows a lined face with dark, bold marks. The face looks old, with deep wrinkles. The lines are thick in some spots and thin in others. Fassianos made this in Paris in 1962. He was still learning printmaking then. The marks look rough but controlled, like he pressed hard with his pen. See how the shadows fade out? That’s called cross-hatching. The same artist used it in later prints. Look up *Fassianos, Alekos (1935-2022)*.
