About this work

This print is a black and white abstract piece with various shapes and lines. It features a large circle at the top, a vase-like shape on the left, and a leafy branch on the right. The bottom has a grassy area with some scribbled lines. The background is a grid pattern with horizontal and vertical lines. The print has a handwritten title and date at the bottom, which reads "Bird Under a Moon" and "2004." The artist's signature is also visible, but it's not clear what it says. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with clean lines and minimal colors.

The story of this work

Overview

The 2004 etching by Simon Ogden adopts the angular planes and layered facets characteristic of early twentieth-century Cubism, while its composition also echoes the Pacific-inspired paper collages Matisse produced in the 1930s and 1940s. It was produced as one of twenty-four prints created for the SOFA Print Project portfolio.
