Artwork notes
The title refers to a figure, but the painting asks us to read colour masses.
Materials, marks and colour
Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.
Media and surface
Painting, prints and teaching diagrams carried the same geometric experiments.
Marks and structure
Squares, crosses and tilted planes can imply weight or movement without depicting objects.
Palette and light
White is an active field, not simply an untouched background.
