About this work

This painting shows big, simple shapes on a flat green background. Two blue ovals sit near the top, one tilted sideways. Below them, a yellow shape looks like it’s floating or melting. A thin blue line cuts across the middle, and another blue blob hangs off to the side. The colors are bright but not mixed—they’re solid and clean, like cutouts. The artist used a printing method to make many copies of this one design. If you like this style, check out The Museum of Modern Art for more abstract prints.
