Bellini #5
1989

This is a colorful collage featuring a mix of classical and abstract elements. The top portion has a thick, orange brushstroke over a purple grid background with a classical sculpture and a portrait of a young man. The middle section shows a turquoise overlay with a basketball hoop and a shadowy figure, while the bottom part includes a green-toned classical scene with a chariot wheel and two figures running. The image has a signature and date at the bottom left corner.
