This painting is a messy mix of shapes and colors. There’s a big black circle with a smaller one inside, surrounded by jagged lines and triangles in orange, yellow, and gray. A checkerboard square sits in the top left, while scattered dots and arcs add to the chaos. Some shapes look solid, others fade into the background. The artist used simple tools—just ink and paper—to create this. The lines are sharp in some spots, fuzzy in others, like they were drawn quickly. Next, check out lithography to see how this print was made.
