About this work

This image shows a flat, geometric design with bold shapes and colors. There’s a large black circle on the left, a red square in the center, and two black half-circles on the right. A light blue rectangle cuts across diagonally, and the word "WENDINGEN" is written in uneven, slanted letters. The title *Wendingen* was the name of a Dutch arts magazine, and this was its cover. The design feels dynamic, with lines and shapes pushing against each other. If you like this, look up lithography to see how artists print sharp, layered colors like this.
