The colors are red and blue, so this reproduction is obviously inaccurate. Even so, if you are unfamiliar with abstract art, I suggest that you fix your gaze upon it from this distance for 30 seconds, when movement, color change, and depth will appear, among other effects. Even in this reproduction many people see some of this. Most gallery visitors give the painting only a passing glance. While no work of art can be appreciated that way, abstract art can not even be seen!
