This painting is a mix of bold colors and rough brushstrokes. You see a big red shape leaning against a gray background, with a white oval at the top that looks like a head. Yellow and black lines cut across the red, making it feel uneven and alive. The paint is applied thickly in some spots, almost like it was slapped on. This is a lithograph, so the artist used a different process than brushes on canvas—ink on stone. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
