Jewels in Levitation
1948–1949

A vintage print featuring an abstract composition with translucent, overlapping organic shapes and vibrant splashes of color on a textured brown background. The artwork has a dreamlike, ethereal quality, with elements that suggest natural forms like leaves and wings, intermingled with undefined fantastical structures.
