Burning House
1979

A vertical artwork depicting a small, simple wooden house with a pitched roof at the bottom of the composition, centered on a peach-colored ground. Above the house, a large, dark plume of smoke rises, filling the majority of the image with its billowing and swirling forms against a pale background.
