Untitled No. 1
1948

A colorful abstract print featuring a series of elongated shapes with textured patterns against a black background. From left to right, there's an orange oval with red speckles, a tall blue shape with lighter blue streaks, a thin white shape with black dots, and a large purple rectangle with a pattern of white vertical drips. The edges of the shapes are rough and appear hand-crafted, and the overall composition has a raw, expressive quality.
