Untitled (Skull) 1981

Miguel Cervantes' 1981 etching, "Untitled (Skull)," depicts a single skull in profile, rendered in stark black and white. The skull's form emerges from a background of swirling, textural marks. This print, a powerful image of mortality, is a testament to Cervantes' exploration of the human condition through minimalist yet evocative imagery. The artist's use of etching creates a rough, textural surface, adding a sense of depth and gravitas to the composition. The skull stands out against the textured background, drawing the viewer's eye to its stark presence.
