About this work

This painting shows bold, flat colors and thick black outlines. Bright yellow and orange shapes sit at the top, like a sun or flowers. Below, green leaves and stems twist around red and pink blooms. A few dark figures stand in the middle, almost hidden by the plants. The artist used a carving method where ink fills the grooves of wood. The lines are sharp, and the colors pop against the white background. Try searching woodcut to see how this printmaking technique works.
