About this work

This painting looks like a bold, colorful plaid pattern. Thick stripes of red, blue, yellow, and green crisscross over black squares. The lines are sharp, and the colors pop against the dark background. Some squares have small rectangles inside them, adding a twist to the design. The artist used a printing method called lithography, which lets them make clean, repeated lines. This piece is one of three prints made the same way. Check out lithography to see how artists use it to create sharp, precise images.
