About this work
Overview
This 1965 print by Emma Amos is an untitled etching and aquatint held at The Museum of Modern Art. The artist signed it in the corner, but did not provide a title.
Subject & Meaning
The print depicts a person in profile, wearing bright blue sunglasses and a dark headscarf. The subject's face is rendered in smooth, delicate lines, while the background features rough, textured shapes in shades of brown and orange.
Technique & Style
The combination of etching and aquatint techniques creates a mix of smooth lines and rough textures, giving the print a sense of incompleteness. The uneven edges of the paper, likely cut by hand, add to this effect.
