About this work
Everything feels loose and playful, like a sketchbook page that never got erased.
This drawing looks like a busy, colorful crowd. People stand close together, some holding hands. One person wears a crown with rainbow stripes. Another has a big smile and a flag with rainbow colors. The lines are simple, and the colors pop—lots of yellow, red, and blue.
The artist used crayons and cut-out paper. Everything feels loose and playful, like a sketchbook page that never got erased.
Look up Marisol (Marisol Escobar) next—she made this in 1960.
