Lee Gatch

Feb 3–Mar 13, 1960

This is an abstract painting featuring a mix of geometric and organic shapes in a variety of colors including blues, purples, oranges, and yellows. The composition is dynamic, with elements that suggest a still life arrangement, including what might be interpreted as a vase, a plate, and fruit, all set against a backdrop of contrasting colors and forms. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
