This painting shows simple shapes on a light background. There are three black rectangles—one thick at the bottom, one thin near the top, and one small floating in the middle. Two orange strips stand vertically, one on the left and one on the right, with a small black rectangle next to the right orange strip. The colors are flat, not blended, and the lines are sharp. The artist used cut-and-pasted paper instead of brushes. Look up The Museum of Modern Art to see more works like this.
