About this work

This painting shows a man with a pipe and a big smile, blowing something that looks like a blue, cloudy shape. Above him, a white hand is pointing at it. The background is black, and the words *"ceci est un original"* are written in white at the bottom. The blue shape is loose and wobbly, like it’s made from quick brushstrokes or spray paint. The hand pointing seems to be highlighting the weird, floating form. If you like this mix of text and odd shapes, look up lithography to see how artists create prints like this.
