About this work

This painting is just a flat, pale yellow square. No shapes, no lines, no brushstrokes—just a single, even color. It looks like a blank wall or a piece of paper, but up close, you might notice tiny variations in tone. The artist made this by printing ink onto paper in a process called *aquatint*, which lets colors blend softly. It’s part of a set of six prints, but this one stands out for being so simple. Next, check out The Museum of Modern Art to see how they display this work.
