About this work

This print shows a simplified American flag with bold red, white, and blue stripes and stars. In front of it, a black-and-white striped figure stands on uneven, wavy black lines that look like water or land. The figure’s head is just a white oval with a small hat. The artist used a linoleum cut, which means they carved shapes into the block and stamped it. The stark colors and clean lines make it look almost like a puzzle.
