A heavily worked ink drawing of the head and shoulders of a black man, against a white ground. The figure’s skin is rendered with striated (inkless) passages that suggest musculature or keyloidal scarring. The ink is so densely applied in parts that the paper takes on a burnished sheen.
A drawing of skittery lines that create two dense, side-by-side clusters of lines at the left and right center of a sheet of paper.
Railway Track, Tabaimo, lithograph
This is a black-and-white print of two figures standing in a field. On the far left there is a gun standing upright next to a male figure with a helmet. He is facing another male figure wearing a headdress with an axe in his side. There are flowers growing by his feet. The words “Conquistando Lo Innocente” “1/20” and the artist’s signature are written below the print.
