About this work

This painting looks messy on purpose. You see big blue shapes, some like a couch and a chair. A person’s arm and leg stick out in the corner. The colors are mostly blue, pink, and brown, all smudged together. Lines are thick and uneven, like they were drawn fast. The artist added pencil and crayon after printing it. That’s why some parts look rough and others are cleaner. The date in the corner says 1963. Want to know more about how this was made? Try lithography.
