About this work

This print shows two mirrored, abstract faces with bold colors. The faces are flat and simple, made of shapes like circles, ovals, and rectangles. Yellow dots and lines outline their features, while red and brown fill in the eyes and mouths. The background is a light blue, and the whole thing sits on a wooden frame. The faces look almost like masks, with no real emotion or detail. The artist used basic shapes to build them up, almost like a puzzle. This piece is part of a small series of prints on wood. Check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more work like this.
