Dual Forms No. III exploits simultaneous color printing to a great effect. Three soft-bodied figures fill the image, sitting and stretched out upon a patchwork quilt of geometric patterns. The quilt patterns fill the spaces surrounding the heavily outlined shapes of the figures giving an all-over abstracted design to this work. Blue and pink inks were rolled onto the plate and serve to unify the surface. Shapes of bright red, green, and yellow enhance and add spark to the quilt patterns for a symphonic impact.

The deeply etched zinc plate for this work in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago. The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts includes an impression printed in browns and black in their permanent collection.
