About this work

This plate from George Barnard's 1885 print Contrasts of Colours arranges twelve numbered panels, each showing loose painted clusters of color set against a tinted ground. The blobs of white, black, yellow, red, blue, green and orange are placed in shifting relationships to demonstrate how neighboring hues affect one another. The layout is a grid of small studies rather than a single composition.
