About this work

This image shows two men shaking hands. Their faces are simple shapes with flat colors—one is yellow, the other a pale orange. The man on the left wears a gray suit with a dark lapel, while the right man has a blue suit and a red tie. Their hands meet in the middle, and the background is just a plain white. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, almost like a sketch. The colors pop against the white space, making the figures stand out. If you like this style, look up Ben Shahn—he made bold, graphic art like this.
