The Monsters, Number 2
1954

A vibrant abstract painting featuring a symmetrical composition with mirror-like patterns in black, green, and white, accented with splashes of red and pink. The texture appears thick and layered, with a rough, almost tactile quality. The edges of the canvas show exposed, unpainted areas, adding to the artwork's raw aesthetic.
