Small Yellow: January 1973 1973

"Small Yellow: January 1973" is a 1973 abstract print by British artist Patrick Heron (1920-1999). The work features a dynamic composition of bright yellow and red organic shapes that appear to float and overlap across the surface, demonstrating Heron's interest in color and form. This piece embodies the artist's exploration of abstract art, often described as "high-key" and "expressive." Heron's abstract style, rooted in the art of Matisse and the European modernists, is a key example of 20th-century British art.
