This print shows a bright red background with a reclining nude figure wrapped in striped fabric. The body is flat and angular, with sharp edges and no real shadows. Above it float two blue cubes with clouds inside, like open windows to the sky. The artist used a mix of soft lines and bold shapes to make the figure feel both solid and dreamlike. The stripes on the fabric wrap around the body in a way that almost looks like a second skin. If you like this style, check out the artist’s work in etching, drypoint, aquatint.
