About this work

This drawing shows jagged black lines on a light background. It looks almost like a face, but not quite. The lines are thick and thin in places. Mylona used these sharp lines to make the shape feel alive. It’s not smooth or polished. The marks look quick and urgent. See how the lines break up near the edges? That’s called cross-hatching. Look up Mylona, Alex (1920-2016) next.
