Print, League of Women Voters

This is a Print. It was designed by Richard Anuszkiewicz. It is dated 1969 and we acquired it in 1999. Its medium is screenprint on paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.

A clear understanding of optical effects characterizes the work of Richard Anuszkiewicz, a student of Josef Albers. In this design, each block of yellow, orange, or red is bordered with pale blue, green, or deep yellow, giving the illusion of a continuous gradation from cool and light in the upper left corner to warm and saturated in the lower right.

This object was donated by Mr. Joshua Mack. It is credited Gift of Joshua Mack.
