About this work

This painting shows tall, narrow shapes stacked in a loose line. The colors are flat and simple—greens, reds, blues, and a few neutral tones. Some shapes lean or tilt, while others stand straight. Tiny black dots and lines poke through like eyes or buttons. The artist used clean edges and bold colors to make the shapes feel solid but odd. The painting looks like it’s made of flat panels, not rounded forms. Check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more work like this.
