This painting is made of scrap paper and paint. Bright colors—green, yellow, orange—are slapped together in rough blocks. A gray square sits in the middle like a window, and a clear glass sits on a table below it. Black and brown rectangles peek out from the sides, and a pink stripe adds a sharp contrast. The artist cut and pasted layers of paper, then painted over them. The colors look uneven, like they were done quickly or by hand. Look up Vanessa Bell to see more of her work.
