Subject matterThis small collage of geometric forms rendered in watercolor is a whimsical play on the difference between depicted (painted) and literal (in being composed of different layers of paper) depth and space.
Physical DescriptionOmbre orange and black abstract forms painted on paper cut out and attached to wood, laid on top of another larger cutout of pink abstract form with “shadows” from the cutout above it painted in red; the paper collage is centered on a large sheet of white paper. Signed “D[orothy] & H[erb] Rogue” in bottom left corner, “R. J. Francisco ‘82” in bottom right corner.
