Epiphany
1932

A vibrant and surreal painting depicting a bustling scene outside a barn with a variety of characters and objects. In the center, a woman in a blue dress sits holding a baby, with a large green sign reading "DR MENG" leaning against her platform. Surrounding her are figures engaged in various activities: a man with a horse, people in conversation, a figure with angel wings atop the barn, and others in dynamic poses. The scene is filled with symbolic elements and a sense of motion, set against a backdrop of a barn with peeling paint and a cloudy sky.
