About this work

This painting is all sharp edges and bold colors. On the left, a tall red stripe sits next to three black circles stacked in a white box. To the right, three blue rectangles line up like steps. Below, a yellow square with a half-circle inside it sits next to two green stripes. The artist used flat colors and clean lines to make it feel almost like a puzzle. The signature in the corner says "V. Yermilov" and the year "1927." If you like this style, check out gouache to see how artists use it for bright, opaque colors.
