About this work

This print looks like a cityscape made of sharp lines and bold colors. Dark blues and purples stand out against a light background. You see buildings with crisscrossed shapes, like scaffolding or bridges. Some areas are solid blocks, others are thin, sketchy lines. The artist used ink on wood to carve this image. That’s why the lines are so clean and the colors pop. Look up woodcut to see how this print was made.
