Leo Quanchi

Purple Passage
1956

This image features an abstract painting with a complex composition of shapes, lines, and colors. Dominated by shades of pink, brown, and orange, the artwork contains elements that suggest fragmented figures and faces, with circular forms and curved lines creating a sense of movement. The painting's texture appears thick and layered, with visible brushstrokes adding depth to the canvas. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom.
