About this work

This painting shows a single, pale boat floating on a flat, light brown surface. The water is smooth, with no ripples or waves. The boat has a thin brown stripe running along its middle. The boat is made from gunpowder and blood—unusual materials for a painting. The colors are muted, and the scene feels quiet and still. If you like this kind of simple, striking art, check out The Museum of Modern Art.
