This painting is a tall, narrow rectangle split in half. The top half has a grid of white circles on a red background. The bottom half flips it—red circles on a white background. Thin blue and gray lines frame the sides and divide the two halves. The artist used a printing method where ink is transferred to paper through a smooth stone or metal plate. That’s how the bold colors and sharp edges stay so clean. Look up lithography next to see how this technique works.
