Untitled is a 2000 by Nyaniso Christopher Lindi, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a big skeleton standing in a field of tiny crosses. Behind it, more crosses stretch into the distance like rows of teeth. To the left, a person in a hooded cloak raises their arms, and a child crouches near the skeleton’s legs. The background is filled with a repeating pattern of dots and lines, making everything look sharp and textured. The crosses might stand for graves, but the artist didn’t label them that way. The print was carved into linoleum, which means the lines and shapes were cut away by hand. If you like this style, look up Nyaniso Christopher Lindi.
