About this work

This print shows bold colors and simple shapes. On the left, two blue rectangles lean against a gray background. In the middle, a black blob with a yellow circle sits under a white line. On the right, a red shape with another yellow circle mirrors the left side. The lines are thin and white, almost like they’re drawn freehand. The colors—blue, black, red, yellow—are bright but flat, with no shading. The shapes don’t look like anything real, just blocks and blobs. The artist used a screenprint, which means the image was pressed through a stencil onto paper. Look up Mary Callery to see more of her bold, colorful abstract work.
