Celebration
1954–1955

A painting depicting a group of people of various ages and ethnicities dancing around a tall monument in a cemetery. The scene is set against a backdrop of a small town with church spires and lush greenery under a twilight sky. The figures are dressed in a mix of contemporary and older fashion styles, suggesting a blend of different time periods. The artwork has a dreamlike quality with vibrant colors and a sense of movement.
