Football
1940

This is an abstract, cubist-style print showing a dynamic composition of geometric shapes and fragmented figures in a palette of blue, beige, red, and black. The shapes suggest a chaotic scene with elements resembling human figures and possibly a reference to football, as indicated by the handwritten word "Football" at the bottom. The print includes various lines and patterns that add to the sense of movement and energy. There are also handwritten notations along the borders of the paper.
