About this work

This print is full of bold, flat colors—red, blue, green, and black—stacked in overlapping circles and shapes. Some areas look rough and textured, while others are smooth. The colors don’t blend; they sit side by side, sharp and clean. The artist used a mix of etching and aquatint, which lets them layer ink for different textures. This piece was made in 1962, but it doesn’t try to look like anything real—just shapes and colors.
