About this work

This print shows six black-and-white drawings. Each one has wavy, tangled lines inside rough circles. Some look like faces, some like swirling water. The shapes are uneven, almost scribbled. The words "Éclatries" are written in messy letters at the top. The artist signed one of the drawings in red. The text below is in French and talks about ideas, not the pictures themselves. The whole thing feels raw and fast, like sketches. Look up lithography next to see how this print was made.
