About this work

This print is packed with bold shapes and bright colors. A woman in a striped dress sits with a cat, while a man walks past. Behind them, a wall shows big eyes and lips. Fireworks burst in the sky, and a "CARE" sign hangs crooked. Shadows stretch long on the ground. The artist used thick black lines to carve the image into wood—this is called woodcut. The mix of strange faces and everyday scenes feels busy but controlled. Check out more about woodcut to see how artists carve images into wood.
