Untitled (Small Sketches with Written Notes)
1920s

A weathered piece of paper filled with various color swatches and handwritten notes. The swatches include blocks of solid colors, gradients, and stripes, in a range of hues. The notes, some of which are mathematical formulas, appear to relate to color theory or mixing. The paper shows signs of age with creases and slight tears.
