About this work

This painting is almost all black. At the very bottom, there’s a row of small shapes. Some look like buildings—tall and thin, with flat tops. Others are stubby, like blocks. They’re all lined up in a row, but they don’t match in size or shape. The artist used a printing method that makes the black look smooth and dark. The tiny shapes stand out because they’re the only things that aren’t black. If you like this, look up lithography next.
