About this work

This print is all jagged lines and rough shapes. The colors are mostly brown and orange, with a few bright spots like red and white. It looks like a crowd of people, but they’re all twisted and overlapping. Some parts look like faces, others like hands or clothes. The edges are sharp, almost like carved wood. The artist made this by cutting into linoleum—it’s not painted, it’s pressed. The lines are uneven, giving it a raw, urgent feel. It’s from 1982, but the style doesn’t match any big art group. Next, check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more prints like this.
