Ode I
1951

Abstract painting featuring a composition of various geometric shapes and forms in a palette of black, white, orange, and hints of purple and red. Some shapes contain scribbled numbers and letters, while others are solid blocks of color. The overall effect is a chaotic yet structured array of elements on the canvas.
