Rainbow 1958

"Rainbow" is a 1958 lithograph by Carol Summers (1925-2016). The abstract artwork is composed of five distinct shapes in various colors, including yellow, turquoise, black, orange, and blue. The composition is simple and the shapes are defined by a textured, hatched style, adding a sense of depth and movement to the flat, paper-like surface. The large, curved shape in the upper portion of the artwork evokes a rainbow, its color scheme further suggestive of a celestial scene. While abstract, the shapes may evoke a sense of nature or landscapes, allowing viewers to interpret the artwork in their own way.
