Balcomb Greene

Boulevard St. Germain
1961

An expressive painting featuring abstract and fragmented elements with a central figure that appears to be a person holding a sign with the word "BIER." The background is a collage of various shapes and forms, creating a dynamic and somewhat chaotic scene. The use of muted colors and bold brushstrokes adds to the painting's emotional intensity. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
