N.R.F. Collage No. 2
1960

An abstract painting featuring a collage of different materials and textures. The top section has a broad horizontal band of yellow paint with drips extending downward. Below is a torn piece of cardboard with red and blue stripes, affixed with various papers including one that reads "éditions gallimard." The lower section shows a large, sweeping stroke of yellow paint over a black background with splatters of yellow and white paint. The overall effect is dynamic and layered, with a sense of depth created by the different elements and textures.
