About this work

This painting shows simple shapes on a light background. There are four yellow rectangles—two tall and two short—with thin brown lines inside them. The paper has a faint texture, and the colors look soft and slightly faded. The artist used basic colors and clean lines, almost like a sketch. The brown lines inside the yellow shapes might be there to show depth or edges. This work was made in 1972 by someone who played with how we see space.
