Victory, 1945
1945

A surreal painting depicting a desolate landscape with twisted, organic forms that resemble distorted trees or figures in the foreground. The background features a procession of figures moving towards a distant, dilapidated city under a hazy, reddish sky. The overall atmosphere is eerie and otherworldly, with a sense of motion and decay.
