"Knowing the language" helps in exploring unknown territories, including the territories of art. Once you begin to notice all the different words in this image, what do you think might be some ideas the artist wants to express?
Addition of text to visual images is a particularly twentieth-century approach to artmaking. The interconnection of words and shapes in this image invites viewers to arrive at their own ideas about its meaning.
