Bellini #2
1987

A collage artwork featuring a mix of classical and contemporary elements. The top portion shows a cracked brown surface above a classical red and gold architectural facade with Corinthian columns. To the right, a modern white building with splashes of green paint. A central purple-toned image depicts a woman holding a large, textured circle, obscuring part of a scene with cherubic figures. The bottom image is a red-tinted depiction of a child swimming. On the right, a purple house with a dog in the doorway and a "No Parking" sign. The artist's signature and edition number are at the bottom.
