Study for Indian Concretion
1938

Abstract painting from 1938 featuring a composition of various organic shapes and bold colors, including red, purple, green, and black, on a white central form against a brownish background. The shapes are reminiscent of body parts or natural forms, with a fluid and somewhat surreal arrangement. The artist's signature and the year are visible in the lower corners.
