About this work

This print is mostly bright, messy colors. Thick black lines cut through red and blue shapes. The top half looks like a rough landscape—greens, yellows, and a dark blue sky. A thick black bar sits near the bottom, with a yellow band above it. The title *L'espoir* means "hope" in French, but the painting doesn’t show anything clear. The colors feel bold and uneven, like they were slapped on fast. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this print in person.
