Cityscape with Figures
1949

A colorful abstract painting depicting a stylized urban construction scene with geometric shapes forming buildings and a crane. In the foreground, three figures appear to be in conversation, with one holding a blueprint. The artwork features a vibrant palette with bold reds, blues, yellows, and greens, and incorporates patterns and textures to add depth. A large key is painted on the right side of the composition, adding a surreal element to the scene.
