This black-and-white print shows thick, messy brushstrokes covering most of the page. In the middle, there’s a big number "18" made of torn paper. Two strips of paper at the top and bottom have handwritten words: one says "Micky Mouse Series," the other has a name and a place—"Summerland, L.A. Calif. 1970." The torn paper and scribbles look like they were added after the print was made. The artist played with how things look when they’re broken or layered. Look up lithography to see how prints like this are made.
