About this work

This painting is made of bold, flat shapes. A bright yellow oval sits on top of a black rectangle. Below, a pink square leans against a white background. On the right, a small gray shape looks like a cup or a hat. The artist used cut-and-pasted paper and colored ink to build the picture. The colors are simple but stand out against the white space.
