Out Chorus
1960

An abstract collage artwork featuring a complex layering of torn papers with printed text, colorful paint smears, and various textures. The composition is dominated by earthy tones of brown and orange, with accents of blue and black, and includes fragments of letters and words in different fonts and sizes, some of which are upside down or sideways, contributing to a sense of chaotic harmony. The piece is signed "MIDDLETON '66" in the bottom right corner.
