About this work

This painting looks like flat shapes glued onto paper. There’s a big gray circle in the middle. Around it are thick black, white, and blue rectangles. A red bar sits at the bottom. The background is a plain tan color. The artist used paint and cut-out paper to build this picture. The lines are sharp and the colors are bright but simple. Want to see how artists use gouache? It’s a soft, water-based paint.
