About this work

This painting shows a few simple shapes that look like tall, skinny flowers or maybe broken umbrellas. They’re painted in bright colors—red, yellow, green, blue—and stand alone against a plain white background. Some are crossed or leaning, while others stand straight up. The artist signed it in the corner, and the paint looks smooth and flat, like it was sprayed on. The title is written below the shapes, but it’s just the word “drawings” and some small notes. If you like this kind of bold, simple art, check out James Rosenquist.
