About this work

This print shows a tall, jagged figure made of sharp lines and bold colors. The figure’s body is mostly green and yellow, with black and red splashes. Its limbs stretch awkwardly, and its head is small with a single eye. The background is mostly blank, with a few red marks near the top. The artist used a woodcut technique, where ink is pressed into carved wood. This makes the lines look rough and the colors flat. Try looking up woodcut to see how this print was made.
