About this work

This print shows four men in suits with wide-open mouths, like they’re screaming. Behind them, a giant pyramid looms in the dark, with another one behind it. The men’s faces are flat and shadowy, almost like cutouts. The artist used a technique where ink is pressed onto stone to make prints—this is called lithography. The pyramid in the background isn’t realistic; it’s more like a shadowy shape. Check out more about lithography to see how it works.
