About this work

You see a stark drawing. A human figure hangs on a cross. Sharp lines cut the paper. The body looks almost like metal. This work is one of many on the Crucifixion theme. The artist made it in 1968, during a dictatorship. She used hard lines to show struggle and suffering. The drawing feels like a plan for metal work. Look up cross-hatching to see how she made shadows with lines.
