While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:
- Waiting is a 1987 black-and-white linocut print by Kuwaiti artist Thuraya Al-Baqsami.
- It depicts a tranquil, everyday scene (a woman in a headscarf gazing out a window).
- ¡Sera toda nuestra! (“It will all be ours!”) is a 1977 color linocut print by Mexican American artist Carlos Cortéz.
- It features a scene with an explicitly political point of view (a group of laborers preparing to go on strike).
- Lino cutting is an inexpensive printmaking technique in which an image is carved onto linoleum tile, covered in ink or paint, and stamped onto paper.
The student wants to make a generalization about linocut prints. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
Linocuts can depict a range of scenes, from the explicitly political to the tranquil and everyday.
