Dr. Orta
1960

Abstract painting featuring three vertical black streaks against a beige background with a horizontal line connecting the tops of the streaks, creating a gate-like appearance. The paint is applied in a thick, textured manner with drips and splatters at the bottom, and the canvas shows through in places, adding to the raw, unfinished aesthetic.
