This piece of modernist art shows the attributes of graphic design that was common in the modernist period such as the block colours giving the image an eye catching twist along with the colours giving the image depth as to the whereabouts it is colours on the woman's dress and her surroundings. The text used in this piece is used effectively as it cause contrast with the image and it say's only what it needs to say in a clear and easy to read typeface such as the bottom line of text is easily readable in a font that works with the rest of the image. although this piece has a lot going on the design is rather simple much the same as modernist graphic design.
