About this work

This print shows two odd, floating shapes. On the left, a stretched yellow leg with a foot dangling. On the right, a round mirror with a person playing a cello inside it, balanced on a white pedestal. The background is dark gray, and the whole thing looks like it’s been cut out of paper. The cello player’s face is hidden, and the mirror’s reflection is blurry. The artist used a mix of printing and collage—some parts look like photos, others like painted marks. Next, check out Sigmar Polke to see how he played with images like this.
