Terrestre
1956

An abstract expressionist painting featuring a dynamic composition of black, white, yellow, and red brushstrokes. The energetic application of paint creates a sense of movement and chaos, with some areas where the colors blend and others where they stand out starkly against each other. The artist's signature and the year '52 are visible in the lower right corner.
