About this work

This image is a black-and-white print packed with jagged shapes and swirling lines. You see what looks like buildings, trees, and maybe windmills scattered across a bumpy, uneven ground. The lines are thick in some spots and fade away in others, like something sketched fast and rough. The artist used a technique where ink is pressed onto a flat stone, then rolled onto paper—this is called lithography. It gives the whole thing a grainy, almost sketchy feel. Next, check out lithography to see how it works up close.
