About this work

This image shows a simple, clean design with four greenish-gray squares divided by bold black lines. The top two squares have text in blue: "GIUSEPPE PENONE" at the top and "Trentatre Erbe" below. The bottom two squares have smaller blue text: "MARCO NOIRE EDITORE" and "TORINO 1989." The layout looks like a catalog or portfolio cover, not a painting itself. The name "Trentatre Erbe" means "Thirty-Three Herbs," which matches the fact that this is a set of 33 prints. Next, check out how lithography works to see how these prints were made.
