About this work

This painting is a bold red square with two gray circles inside it. Each circle has a smaller black ring around a white center, like two eyes. Below them is a dark blue shape that looks like a mouth. The edges of the painting are framed by a thin black line, then a pinkish band, and another black line. The colors are flat and bright, with no shading or texture. The circles and the blue shape are simple but stand out against the red background. If you like this kind of clean, geometric art, look up The Museum of Modern Art.
