About this work

This painting is all sharp angles and bold colors. Pink and black shapes overlap on a brownish background. The lines are uneven, like they were drawn fast. Some areas are dark and solid, others fade out. The artist used a printing method called lithography. It lets colors sit side by side without blending. Look up lithography to see how it works.
