About this work

This drawing shows five simple shapes scattered across a white page. On the left is a cow lying down, and above it a big, fuzzy circle with a tiny plant on top. To the right, there’s a snake, a pyramid with a face peeking out, a bird flying, a box with a person inside, and a horse galloping. The lines are light and sketchy, like quick doodles. The artist used a drypoint needle to scratch into the paper, creating thin, wavy marks. Next, look up Francesco Clemente to see more of his playful, symbolic work.
