This black-and-white image shows a group of horses under a canopy of sharp, radiating lines. The horses are simple shapes, almost like silhouettes, with no detail in their faces or bodies. A tall, narrow structure with a circular opening sits to the right, and the whole scene feels flat and graphic. The lines above the horses look like they’re made of metal or light, casting everything in shadow. The artist used a rough, scratchy method to create this effect. Check out how the artist made this using etching.
