About this work

You see a grid of colored squares—reds, blues, greens—stacked like a patchwork quilt. Maria Ender painted this in 1922 while studying with Matiushin, a teacher who believed colors could be mixed like music notes. His 1932 color manual taught artists to pair opposite hues to make them feel brighter. This painting is one of those exercises: no people, no story, just color doing the talking. Look up *impasto* to see how thick paint can make colors pop even more.
