It is said that L. Frank Baum deliberately set out to create an American fairy tale with his books about the fabulous land of Oz. He succeeded - if not directly, then through the adaptations of his work, especially the 1939 movie, “The Wizard of Oz.”
The colours in this piece come from that film, and the shapes from the first of Baum’s Oz books: “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”.
