About this work

This image shows a simple, light blue rectangle with a small design inside. The design has a logo with a bird and the word "Gauloises" printed in bold letters. Below the rectangle, the word "GAULOISES" appears again in smaller text. The image looks like a cigarette pack, but it’s not a real photo—it’s a printed art piece. The artist used a method where ink is pressed into the surface to create the lines. Look up aquatint next to see how this technique works.
