This object has the following keywords:

• abstract - Genre of visual arts in which figurative subjects or other forms are simplified or changed in their representation so that they do not portray a recognizable person, object, thing, etc.; may reference an idea, quality, or state rather than a concrete object. For the process of formulating general concepts by abstracting common properties of instances, prefer "abstraction." For 20th-century art styles that were a reaction against the traditional European conception of art as the imitation of nature, use "Abstract (fine arts style)."
• Ben Day dots - Transparent sheets of tints that consist of dots, which are used to apply texture to artwork and designs. The name derives from Benjamin Day, a New Jersey printer, who sold shading mediums in the 19th century. Ben Day dots were made famous through their use by Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein.
