Pottery Molds

Joseph Shapiro

National Gallery of Art

There are two mold-shaped objects in the image. The larger translucent form is on top, and a bright yellow solid form is below it. The color palette includes soft, light hues with white for the upper object and a vibrant yellow for the lower one. The objects are centrally positioned against an off-white background, with the transparent, ridged object near the top center and the bright yellow mold directly beneath it.
