Ecco
1962

A vibrant and chaotic abstract painting with a multitude of colors and shapes. Various elements such as eyes, crosses, and organic forms are intermingled with splashes of paint and what appears to be collage elements. The artwork has a sense of dynamic movement and is framed with a simple border.
