This painting is a mix of bold colors and sharp shapes. You see a tall, narrow figure made of thick black lines and blocks of red, white, and gray. The head is a black oval with a red border, and the body looks like stacked geometric forms. The arms stick out in simple triangles, while the legs are just two thin lines. The artist used a printmaking method to create this work. The lines are clean, and the colors pop against the gray background. Check out lithography to see how this technique works.
