Oil Splatters and Leaves
1950

A wide canvas featuring an abstract painting with a dark, moody background. Multiple bursts of color resembling flowers or explosions are spread across the canvas, with a particularly vibrant, comet-like streak of red, green, and blue on the right side. The lower part of the painting shows several green leaf-like shapes floating against the dark backdrop.
