Red City - A Child's World 1962

Reva Urban made this print called 'Red City – A Child's World' sometime in the 20th century. Looking at this print, the shapes feel really bold, don't they? Like big, simple building blocks. I can almost feel the texture of the ink on the paper, especially in the black areas where it looks like the artist really laid it on thick. There's something so satisfying about that kind of directness. And the red! Those intense bars of color, it's hard to ignore. It makes me think of Joan Miró, especially those playful, childlike forms. It’s like Urban is inviting us to see the world through a child's eyes, where everything is a little bit off-kilter and full of possibilities. What do you think?
