Buttons

Charlotte Winter

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an arrangement of small, rounded shapes on a plain background, forming an abstract composition. Each shape is unique, resembling buttons or medallions with intricate designs. Some shapes have vivid colors, like bright turquoise, while others have more muted colors like metallic or earthy tones. One central piece stands out with a circular, ornate pattern similar to a brooch or floral motif. The composition creates an abstract artwork that encourages viewers to make connections to everyday objects.
