Description

Composition F is an abstract woodblock print built from irregular rectangular blocks of color, dominated by dense black and dark indigo shapes at the upper left and center. Smaller accents of burnt orange, mustard yellow, and off-white break up the dark masses, with a rough-edged white form near the lower left. The overall effect is heavily textured and non-representational, with no figures or setting depicted, printed on cream-toned paper with visible margins and pencil annotations below the image.
