About this work

Overview

This untitled lithograph is a print by American artist Peter Alexander, created in 1972. It features soft, hazy forms and explores the relationship between color and perception.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts a pink shape suspended in an orange field, with fuzzy edges that give the image a dreamlike quality. The composition is abstract, focusing on shapes and tones rather than representational subjects.

Technique & Style

Alexander employed a printing technique that allows colors to blend and bleed together, creating a soft, blurry effect. This approach is characteristic of his work with translucent materials and his interest in exploring light and perception.
