Aerial Gyrations
1953

A stylized painting depicting an abstract urban scene with geometric shapes representing buildings and architectural elements in a range of blues, browns, and creams, set against a pale sky. The artwork is bordered by an unpainted margin, giving it the appearance of being mounted on a larger canvas or paper.
