Grand Street Brides
1954

An expressionist painting featuring a group of abstract female figures with exaggerated features and bold outlines. The figures are set against a dark, roughly textured background, with some figures partially overlapping others. The color palette includes muted tones with splashes of brighter colors like green, red, and blue. The brushwork is loose and dynamic, contributing to the overall sense of movement and emotion in the scene.
