This painting is all sharp black lines and dots on a deep blue background. The shapes look like they’re floating—some curved, some straight, some stacked. A few small circles and squiggles are scattered around like random notes. The artist used newspaper under the paint, which shows through in places. That’s why it looks uneven and rough. Next, check out Paul Klee to see more of his simple, bold work.
