Artwork notes
Artist-wide context
He simplifies shapes and tests colours against one another until even an unnatural colour feels right in the picture.
Materials, marks and colour
Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.
Media and surface
Oil, sculpture and gouache-coloured paper offered different ways to join line and colour.
Marks and structure
Broad contours simplify a body; a cut edge can do the work of a drawn line.
Palette and light
Strong, flat colours work through their neighbours rather than through realistic shading.
