This painting is all black and white. You see thick, jagged lines that look like they were drawn fast and hard, filling most of the page. The edges are uneven, and the lines twist around each other in a messy, tangled way. The artist used ink on paper, pressing down in some spots to make the lines darker. It’s not a picture of anything real—just raw marks on the page. Next, check out lithography to see how artists make prints like this.
