Downfall
1955

An expressive, abstract painting featuring a jumble of shapes and colors that suggest a pile of objects or figures. The warm palette consists of reds, oranges, and yellows with contrasting dark shadows, creating a sense of depth and movement. The brushwork is loose and dynamic, adding to the overall impressionistic feel of the artwork.
