About this work

This sketch shows a group of hands tangled together, some reaching upward while others press down. The lines are rough and dark, with some areas left lighter, almost like shadows. The edges of the paper look uneven, as if it’s been torn or framed roughly. The artist signed it in the corner with the year 1971. The hands seem to be struggling or connected in some way, but it’s left open to your own thoughts. Check out how this was made using lithography.
