This image is a busy collage of text, drawings, and photos. At the center is a close-up of a hand holding a pair of scissors, cutting a circle from paper. Around it are diagrams of hands pointing, a list of the numbers one through one hundred, and a black-and-white photo of a person playing a cello. There’s also a poster for a Lincoln Center show, a comic strip, and a French newspaper clipping. The scissors and the hand cutting the paper stand out as a simple but striking detail. The mix of different styles—like the hand-drawn arrows, the printed text, and the photo—feels chaotic but intentional. If you like this mix of images and text, look up lithography next.
