About this work

You see thin, vertical stripes in bright colors—red, blue, yellow, green—running from top to bottom on a white background. The stripes aren’t perfectly straight, and some colors repeat. Gene Davis painted stripes for decades, but this is a print, not a painting. Lithography lets the artist draw on stone, then print the image over and over. The uneven edges here show the hand of the process, not a machine. If you like the bold simplicity, look up more works in the technique: lithography.
