This drawing shows a simple face with two big black eyes and a smooth, rounded head. Under the chin, the word "AFRICA" is written in small, uneven letters. The artist’s name, "de maria," is scribbled faintly near the top. The face looks almost like a child’s sketch, but the word "AFRICA" makes it feel like a quiet protest. The artist, Walter De Maria, often used basic shapes and bold statements in his work. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
