Apartment Tower
1944

A painting depicting an abstracted architectural scene with geometric buildings in shades of red and brown. The central structure features a prominent tower with a teal roof and arched windows, set against a muted gray sky. The composition includes various flat planes and sharp angles, creating a sense of stylized urban landscape. The artist's signature is visible in the lower left corner.
