Philip Evergood

The Jester
1950

A vibrant and chaotic painting featuring a group of nude and semi-nude figures in various poses and activities around a table adorned with a large skull and other objects. The background is filled with abstract shapes and faces, and the floor has a black and white checkered pattern. The overall style is expressionistic with bold colors and distorted forms.
