Bruce Nauman

Eating My Words
1966–1967, printed 1970

A man in a red and white checkered shirt is seated at a table covered with a red and white checkered tablecloth. He is reaching for a blue glass while looking down at a white plate with red paint splatters, which resembles tomato sauce. There is also a clear glass of water on the table. The scene has a surreal, artistic vibe with a strong use of red and blue colors.
