About this work

This picture shows simple shapes on a light background. On the left, there are a few loose lines—one long, one short, and a small circle. To the right, a large square of pale pink paper sits unevenly, like a piece of fabric. The top edge has smudged, rough marks, almost like scribbles. The artist used a mix of drawing and collage, gluing the pink square onto the page. The lines feel quick and sketchy, while the square looks smooth and solid. Look up lithography to see how this print was made.
