The Paris Bit
1959

A vibrant abstract painting featuring a complex overlay of bold black and blue lines and shapes on a white background, with scattered red accents. Text elements such as "LINES THICKEN," "BELT FRANCE," "HOTEL," and various numbers are interwoven into the composition, creating a dynamic and visually engaging piece framed by a red border.
