About this work

This picture shows four squares inside a bigger square. The lines are thin and crisscross in bright colors—yellow, orange, and brown. The background is plain white. The lines make sharp angles, like a grid. The artist used a printing method that scratches into metal plates. This lets ink fill the lines when pressed. The result looks clean and precise. Check out etching to see how artists make prints this way.
