Day at the Races
1964

A graphic artwork divided into a grid of six squares with a bold red background on the right side. The top left square features a profile of a man in shades of blue and white, the middle left square shows another profile in red, white, and blue, and the bottom left square contains a stylized blue numeral 5 with a colorful pattern inside it, set against a red and white background. The squares are outlined in white, creating a striking contrast with the primary colors.
