This painting is all sharp angles and flat colors. White rectangles overlap each other, stacked like blocks. One rectangle has a black circle and the letters "L. KASSÁK" written in red. The background is just black, and there’s a big white number "2" at the bottom. The artist’s name is hidden in plain sight—like a secret inside the shapes. The whole thing feels like a puzzle made of simple forms. Look up gouache next to see how this paint works.
