This painting is a collage of words and colors. The text reads: *"PAPER DOLLS FOR A POST COLUMBIAN WORLD WITH ENSEMBLES CONTRIBUTED BY US GOVERNMENT."* The letters are bold and uneven, painted in black over watercolor patches of blue, yellow, red, and green. Dollar signs appear on either side of the middle section. The background is a light beige paper. The words play with ideas about money, government, and culture. The mix of colors and text feels both playful and serious at the same time. Want to learn more? Check out Jaune Quick-to-See Smith.
