Little Joe Picking His Nose
1947

A complex abstract art piece with a variety of geometric shapes and patterns in a muted color palette, featuring shades of teal, black, white, and brown, with occasional accents in light blue. The composition is intricate, with elements that could be interpreted as stylized eyes, mechanical parts, or tribal motifs, all enclosed within a thick teal border.
