Ecce Homo
A striking woodcut print by Brazilian-Italian artist Anna Maria Maiolino, *Ecce Homo* employs bold, stark lines and the raw expressiveness of the woodcut medium to explore themes of human suffering and vulnerability. The work reflects Maiolino's engagement with the body and political consciousness, particularly resonant given its creation during Brazil's military dictatorship era. The contrast of carved marks against paper evokes both fragility and resistance, embodying the Latin phrase "Behold the Man" with quiet yet powerful intensity.
