Crucifixion
1953

A cubist-style painting depicting a crucified figure with a crown of thorns, set against a backdrop of red and brown geometric shapes. To the right, a man with a solemn expression holds a nail, gazing directly at the viewer. The artwork is rich in texture and angular forms, creating a dramatic and intense scene.
