Blow used different media to create a collage effect and began experimenting with color around 1960. After a decade spent creating work in response to her partner Alberto Burri, Blow separated from him in the early 1950s to pursue her art free from his influence. Red Circle, with its vibrant swathe of color and simple geometry, exemplifies the bold visual language that Blow developed on her own.
