Three Musicians

1951

An expressive painting featuring three stylized figures against a vibrant red and orange background. The figure on the left is gesturing with an open hand, the central figure has a contemplative expression, and the one on the right is shown in profile. The artwork is characterized by bold brushstrokes and a dynamic use of color.
