Work Description: 
A giant field of bright yellow dominates the majority of this massive, horizontal painting. A vertical band of black runs along the right edge, bordered on its left edge by an unpainted strip of canvas. The black area is interjected by a crimson and purple form at the bottom edge. Unpainted canvas separates this form from the surrounding black. A tiny blue and orange form is seen at the upper left edge, surrounded by unpainted canvas. Other unpainted forms interject the yellow at top center and bottom center.
