Song of Esther
1958

A vibrant abstract painting featuring a jumble of colorful shapes and forms that suggest a seated figure surrounded by a dynamic, fragmented environment. The use of bright yellows, reds, greens, and blues creates a lively and energetic composition, with thick, expressive brushstrokes adding texture and depth.
