About this work

This painting is a mix of bold colors and simple shapes. You see a black form with a green circle on its head and a white circle on its side. The background is split into red, blue, and yellow blocks. The edges are rough, like the paint was slapped on quickly. The artist used bright, flat colors with no shading. That makes everything look very clean and modern. The black shape almost looks like a person, but it’s not clear. Check out Sonia Delaunay to see more of her bold, colorful work.
