This print shows a big, fierce guardian god in a robe stepping out of a dark cave. His foot lifts off a rock as vines and clouds swirl around him. It’s part of a set about the sun goddess hiding in a cave. The artist used bold black lines and soft color blocks to make the scene feel alive. See it next at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
