DescriptionImage in navy blue, pink and white, no black, against a pale taupe background. The left half is split into two sections. The shape in the large upper left suggests part of a human torso: a navy ball surrounded by blue vertical stripes that converge into a neck and diverge again into two arms that end in solid blue forearms coming forward, with linked circles instead of hands. In the background, thin blue arcs and patches of pale pink. In the lower left section. A similar figure lying on its side, mostly white against a background of speckled blue. In contrast to the upper figure, the stripes of the arms are curved for a three-dimensional effect. On the right half of the print, variants on these shapes in pink and blue, with a stack of pink and blue boxes on the upper right.ProvenanceC. Richard Belger and Evelyn Craft Belger, Kansas City, MO;
