Hey! Garcon
1951

A vibrant expressionist painting depicting a bustling cafe scene with various caricatured figures. A ballerina stands in the foreground to the left, while a waiter serves drinks to patrons at tables. Each character is uniquely exaggerated, with some wearing masks and hats, and a colorful bird is perched above. The background is a warm red, contrasting with the white tablecloths and the eclectic attire of the guests. The scene is lively, with a sense of movement and conversation. The artist's signature, "Bisa," is visible in the bottom right corner.
