The View
1962

A painting depicting four figures seated at a table with a dramatic, dark cloud-filled sky above a lush, patchwork landscape. The figures appear somber, with their features obscured in shadow, and the table is situated in a field of red, plant-like forms. A solitary figure in red sits apart from the group, gazing out over the landscape. The artwork conveys a sense of tension and foreboding amidst a natural setting.
