Mezzo tinto 1960

"Mezzo Tinto" is a 1960 print by Portuguese artist Sa Nogueira (1921-2002). The black and white artwork depicts a woman carrying a child on her shoulders, standing before a dark and abstract background that resembles a dense forest. The artist is known for their works exploring the relationship between human figures and the natural world. This piece exemplifies their signature style, using a technique similar to a mezzotint to achieve a rich, textured effect, contributing to the powerful, melancholic tone of the artwork.
