This painting looks like a building exploded into shapes. Big blocks of color—black, red, gray—float around. A yellow sun sits in the top corner. Lines cut across everything, like the building is falling apart. The artist used flat colors and sharp edges. It’s like the picture was built with blocks instead of paint. Look up gouache next to see how this soft, flat paint works.
