About this work

This is a black-and-white collage on a dark background. The words "Brunidor Portfolio No. 1" are written in a bold, uneven font at the top. Below that, names like "Tanguy" and "Seligmann" are scattered across shapes that look like broken objects—a hat, a teapot, a feather duster—all drawn in simple, sketchy lines. The portfolio mixes text and odd doodles, almost like a puzzle. It’s not a painting but a printed cover for a set of artworks. Check out lithography to see how artists create prints like this.
