① Artwork:
Merganser
This painting is a superb example of the artist's subtlety as a colorist. Prekop used a palette knife to texture and scrape carefully delineated layers of flat color. The artist added a lighter hue on top that blends with the layer beneath, creating an illusion of transparency. Prekop frequently employs underlying structures in his richly-colored abstract compositions.
