This painting shows bold, flat shapes in deep blues, purples, and reds. The colors feel heavy, almost like shadows and light pressed together. There’s a big arch of purple at the top, with dark teardrop shapes hanging below it. The artist used a woodcut technique—carving shapes into wood, then inking them. The lines are sharp, and the colors pop against the white background. Want to know more? Check out woodcut to see how this printing method works.
