This painting shows two clean, flat colors stacked vertically. The top half is a solid orange, and the bottom half is a deep black. The edges are sharp and straight, with no shading or texture. The artist used a printmaking method to create this simple but striking image. The colors feel bold against the white border around the piece. Check out lithography to see how artists use this process to make prints.
