You see a square, rainbow-colored target shape on a black background. The rings shift from red at the center to purple at the outer edge, like a bullseye made of light. This is a screenprint, a method where ink is pushed through a stencil on a mesh. Chicago made this during a time when few women were recognized in the art world. She used simple shapes and bright colors to explore perception and space. The design feels both precise and glowing, like a signal from another world. It shows how color and shape alone can create depth and movement. Look next at the museum: The Museum of Modern Art.
