Two Nudes Before Japanese Screen
1952

A vibrant expressionist painting featuring two nude figures reclining in the foreground with a backdrop of abstract shapes and bold colors. The background consists of a yellow wall with a green plant on the left and colorful, abstract architectural elements on the right. The brushwork is thick and textured, contributing to the overall dynamic and emotive quality of the artwork.
