This painting is all black lines and marks on a light background. The lines twist and overlap in wild, tangled shapes. Some areas are thick and dark, while others fade into light strokes. The artist used a mix of etching, drypoint, and aquatint to create these layers. The marks look like they’re moving fast, almost like a storm or a crowd in motion. Check out how etching works to see how these lines were made.
