Untitled is a 1938 ink by Francisco Dosamantes, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows two giant scissors cutting through a banner. The banner has the word "JUSTICIA" on it. The scissors look sharp and powerful, with one blade marked by a symbol that looks like a lightning bolt in a circle. The artist used simple lines and shading to make the scissors look heavy and strong. The background is blurry, so your eyes focus on the cutting action. If you like this style, look up lithography next to see how it’s made.
Francisco Dosamantes was a Mexican artist and educator who is best known for is educational illustrations and graphic work against fascism. He was a founding member of the Taller de Gráfica Popular and the Salón de la Plástica Mexicana.
