The image displays irregularly shaped forms and jagged lines arranged in an abstract composition. The shapes suggest familiar objects, such as spiky coral pieces or jigsaw puzzle fragments, each with unique patterns and textures. The vibrant colors and dynamic arrangement give a playful impression, with the fragments appearing to hover over a textured background reminiscent of a night sky or deep ocean. Triangular and angular shapes in the lower portion suggest mountains or hills, grounding the composition amidst the swirling abstract entities above. — Peter Pos, Indiani v léte (American Indians in the Summer), 1991, color lithograph [artist's proof], Gift of Gerald Cerny, 2000.166.167
