About this work

This painting shows a large, rectangular canvas with colorful, vertical stripes. The stripes are uneven and have rough edges. This work is interesting because it was made using synthetic polymer paint, which was a new material at the time, and the artist applied it in thin, even layers to create a smooth surface. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of impasto.
