This painting looks like it’s made of cut-out shapes glued together. Black letters and lines float over a light background, while a big rusty-brown block sits at the bottom. The edges are jagged, and some parts look like they were torn or scratched. The artist used a printing method called linoleum cut—think of it like a stencil made from carved wood or linoleum. The rough texture and bold colors give it a raw, uneven feel. Next, check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more works like this.
