This watercolor from 1971 is a stripe-based abstract by Bridget Riley. It’s small—just 20 x 20 cm—but packs a quiet punch through color and line. Riley studied in London, then designed the Woolmark logo early in her career. Her stripes play with subtle shifts in hue, making the eye work a little. If stripes grab you, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
