Figure in Space
1951

An abstract painting with a blend of geometric and organic shapes in a muted yellow and gray color palette. Central to the composition is a darker, detailed rectangle with what appears to be draped fabric and linear elements that extend outward. The overall texture is weathered, with visible cracks and a distressed surface.
