About this artwork
According to Lucy Commoner, author of an insightful essay about Stein, the artist’s “pieces woven with only black-and-white warps and wefts achieve a wide range of gray-scale values through the manipulation of the weave structures.” This is indeed the achievement represented by powerful works such as Whole and Half Moons.
