This painting is a solid red square with faint words etched into it. The words are scattered around the square, some running vertically and others horizontally. They're hard to read because they're so light. The words seem to be phrases or single words, like "otherwise", "as such", "really", "hoping for", and "against". They're all written in a simple, thin font that blends into the red background. If you like this kind of minimalist art, you might want to check out more works by Robert Barry.
