Cleve Gray

Study for Mosque, Cordova
1961

An abstract painting featuring a series of vertical forms that resemble arches or columns, rendered in dark brown, black, and white strokes with hints of gold. The composition is dynamic, with overlapping shapes and lines creating a sense of depth and movement. The background is a mix of dark and light areas, contributing to the overall moody and textured appearance of the artwork.
