Painting, New York, January 1936
1936

A vibrant abstract painting featuring a juxtaposition of organic and geometric shapes in bold colors, such as blue, black, yellow, and green, set against a striking orange background. The composition suggests a sense of movement and fluidity, with elements that could be interpreted as stylized representations of figures or objects.
