About this work

This painting shows four horses racing in bold, flat colors. The horses and riders are simplified into sharp black lines, with bright red, green, and orange blocks. The background has wavy shapes that look like grass or water, but they’re just abstract curves. The artist used a printing method called linoleum cut—ink pressed into carved wood. Notice how the lines are crisp and the colors don’t blend; it’s all about strong shapes. Look up Sybil Andrews to see more of her bold, graphic prints.
