DescriptionA mass of dark, billowy cloudlike forms rise diagonally from the bottom right to the upper left of the vertical-format painting, expanding as they reach the top. Lighter clouds of pale blue, gray, and white surround the dark gray forms. Across the bottom edge a gray stripe suggests a horizon line. A think stroke of red paint appears as the dark clouds and the horizon line overlap. The painting has a smooth and shiny finish.Copyright© Estate of David Alfaro Siqueiros / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / SOMAAP, Mexico City
