About this work

This painting looks messy but bright. Sharp colors—reds, yellows, blues—are smashed together like broken glass. Black lines crisscross everywhere, and shapes don’t match anything real. One figure stands out on the right, but it’s hard to tell what it is. The artist used pastel sticks, which are soft and blend easily. That’s why the colors run together and look almost like fireworks. Next, check out pastel to see how artists use this slippery, colorful medium.
