About this work

This painting shows four big squares stacked in two rows. The colors are soft blues, yellows, and browns. The edges are clean and sharp. No shapes look real—they’re just flat blocks of color. The artist made this from woodcut prints. That means they carved shapes into wood, then pressed ink into the grooves. The paper is plain white around the colored squares. Next, look up woodcut to see how this printmaking technique works.
