About this work

This painting is all sharp shapes and bright colors. Big triangles, circles, and squares fill the space. The colors are bold—yellows, greens, oranges, and blues—stacked in clean blocks. Thin white lines separate some shapes, while others overlap. The whole thing looks flat, like cut paper glued down. The artist used a printing method called screenprinting. That’s why the colors look so even and the lines so crisp. Next, check out Auguste Herbin.
