About this work

This painting shows four flat colors in a row. Light blue on the left, then a dark gray, a soft green, and a bright red on the right. The edges are sharp and clean. No brushstrokes or shapes—just smooth blocks of color. The artist signed it in the corner with a small number and name. This kind of simple, bold color work is different from most paintings. Look up lithography next to see how this was printed.
