White Cliffs
1955

An abstract painting featuring a muted color palette with dominant whites and creams, accented by soft blues, oranges, and blacks. The composition suggests a stylized landscape with geometric shapes that could be interpreted as buildings or architectural elements. A small red-orange sun or moon hangs in the top right corner against a pale yellow sky, while the foreground is dominated by blocky, abstract forms. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom right corner.
