Work Description:
|
Flickering black shapes fill the left half, bottom and right fourth of the canvas, leaving the top right corner bare along with various smaller areas scattered throughout the black. A small red form floats in the bare canvas at top right, directly to the left of a white lifeline that enters the scene from the top edge and runs vertically down before ending just above the black pigment near the bottom. A tiny burst of yellow sits at the right edge below center, several tiny blue streaks are located amidst the black at top left, and a small white form hovers at the top left corner. A burst of white pigment erupts in the bottom left corner, and this photograph shows the badly yellowing varnish painted over this white pigment.
