Look at the words in this artwork. How far down can you read before it’s too hard to make them out? The artist, Ligon, did this on purpose. He made the words by using a black stick of paint and a stencil. He explained, “When I first started using oil paint and letter stencils, I realized that there was no way to make clean, perfect letters, and, in fact, their messiness was the most interesting thing.”
