Untitled (Fire)
1963

A colorful abstract drawing featuring a variety of shapes and lines. There are elements that resemble a purple cloud with a green tree, a pink patterned shape, a yellow to red gradient flame-like form, and a large green and black curved shape. Small figures and symbols, including what appears to be a tiny person, are scattered throughout the composition. The artwork has a playful, child-like quality with its bold outlines and bright colors.
