This painting shows four flat shapes on a light background. A blue triangle leans left. A black rectangle cuts across it. A yellow square sits below, with a small black square next to it. The edges are sharp. No shadows or curves—just hard lines and solid colors. The shapes don’t look like anything real. The artist used cut paper and glued it down. That’s called collage. Look up Liubov Popova next—she made this kind of bold, simple art.
