About this work

This print shows two tall shapes split down the middle. The left side is dark and smooth, almost like a shadow. The right side is rough and textured, with lines that look like they were scratched in. The right side has a patch of small dots near the bottom. The artist used a mix of printing tricks to make the lines and textures pop. Look up lithography next—it’s a printing method that lets artists make sharp, layered effects like this.
