Night and the Atom #2
1947

A vibrant abstract print with a gradient of warm colors transitioning from yellow at the top to red in the middle and dark blue at the bottom. The composition is filled with various white line drawings that resemble schematic or mechanical illustrations, possibly suggesting a chaotic urban landscape or a complex machinery. The artwork is numbered and signed by the artist in the lower margin.
