Richard Pousette-Dart

Within the Room
1942

A vibrant and complex abstract painting filled with an array of shapes, symbols, and colors. The composition is dense with overlapping forms including eyes, geometric patterns, and various organic shapes, all rendered in a bold, expressionistic style with thick brushstrokes and a rich palette of reds, blues, yellows, and whites.
