About this work

This painting shows a busy, dreamlike scene with bright colors. A person in the center wears a black coat and holds a bat, surrounded by odd, floating shapes and figures. The background looks like a forest, but it’s messy and unclear, with big blocks of green and yellow. The artist used a mix of printmaking and hand-painting to create this wild, almost cartoonish look. The figures seem to be both real and imaginary at the same time. Check out gouache to see how artists use this paint to make bold, flat colors like these.
