DescriptionThe composition of the collage is roughly that of a vertical rectangle, made of torn paper, with poured and dripped paint upon a monochromatic ground. The paper that makes up the rectangle is colored black, ochre, and has a small area of bright green in the upper center. The ground is vivid blue.Copyright© Dedalus Foundation, Inc. / Licensed by VAGA at Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York
