About this work

This painting shows bold shapes stacked unevenly. A black rectangle sits on top of a white one, both with rough edges. Inside the white shape is a yellow oval with a gray strip cutting through it. To the right, a small yellow piece juts out like a crooked handle. The colors are flat and bright—no shadows or depth. The materials look like painted wood and metal, giving it a stiff, geometric feel. If you like this kind of sharp, simple design, check out The Museum of Modern Art.
