Work Description: 
In this tall, extremely narrow composition, two jagged red forms float amidst a background of bare canvas. The uppermost form is smaller and rendered in a brighter shade of red, while the lower form is painted with a deeper, crimson pigment and more oblong in shape. Two parallel bands of color, one black and one yellow, run horizontally along the bottom edge of the work.
