Hyman Bloom

The Anatomist
1953

A vivid and abstract painting featuring dynamic brushstrokes and a rich color palette. The central figure appears to be a woman with fiery orange hair, partially obscured by a bouquet of flowers. Above her, a framed picture of abstract shapes in pink and orange tones hangs on the wall. Surrounding the central figure are various forms and limbs, including a hand reaching towards her from the right side, suggesting a sense of movement and interaction. The background is dark, with hints of brown and black, which contrasts with the bright colors used for the figures and objects.
