This painting shows a simple, flat figure lying on its side. The body is mostly red with a pale pink arm tucked under its head. Green lines suggest hair or grass, and a blue shape behind it looks like the ground or sky. The colors are bold and the edges are rough. The artist used a printing method called screenprinting, which lets them layer colors like this. The figure looks like a person but is very basic—no face or details. Next, check out lithography to see how other artists used similar print techniques.
