Musical Interlude
1954

A black and white lithograph depicting an abstract, bird's-eye view of an orchestra in performance. The musicians are seated in rows, each playing a different instrument, with music stands scattered throughout. The perspective is skewed, creating a disorienting, almost cubist effect. The artwork is signed by the artist in the lower right corner.
