Mixed media on paper // Pool by Joe Tilson, created in 1981, is a mixed media print on paper that showcases the artist's signature blend of text and color. The composition is structured as a grid filled with the repeated word POOL, creating a sense of rhythm and pattern. A vibrant color gradient runs down the right side of the print, transitioning from yellow to green, blue, and red, which contrasts with the monochromatic repetition of the word. Below, swatches of color and texture appear, emphasizing Tilson's experimental approach to media and materiality. Measuring 106 cm × 76 cm, the work invites viewers to explore the interplay between language, color, and visual structure.

What is Kitsch?
Kitsch is a term used to describe cheap, commercial, sentimental, or vulgar art and objects commonly associated with popular culture. The word is borrowed from German, where it originally means trash. Since the 1920s, kitsch has been used to denote the opposite of high art, often implying that the work lacks sophistication or artistic merit.
