Untitled
1965

This is an artwork consisting of two panels with surreal imagery in a blue monochromatic tone. The left panel shows a large figure kissing a smaller, bald figure, with three additional bald figures below them. The right panel depicts a figure falling through the air towards a moon-like sphere, with a ladder leading up to it, and below that, a group of three figures, one of which is holding a child. The artwork has a dreamlike, ethereal quality and includes signatures and annotations at the bottom.
