Crucifixion
1958

An abstract expressionist painting featuring dark, shadowy figures that appear to be shrouded or cloaked, set against a backdrop with a dominant arch-like structure. The color palette is moody with deep greens, blacks, and hints of red and white, creating a somber and possibly mystical atmosphere.
