About this work

This image is a black-and-white print with bold, jagged lines. On the left side, there’s a tall, thin shape that looks like a flag or pole with a star at the top. To the right, a rough, cloudy mass takes up most of the space—almost like a face or figure, but it’s hard to tell. The lines are sharp and uneven, with some areas filled in solid white and others left empty. The artist used a printing method called linoleum cut, where they carved into rubbery material to make the design. This style makes the lines feel almost like they’re stamped or pressed into the page. If you like this bold, abstract style, check out The Museum of Modern Art for more works like it.
