Striated rays in shades of jewel-toned pink, blue, green, pearl white, and earthy grays emanate from a center in this nearly square, abstract painting. A roughly triangular, flat white area is in the middle of the composition. Moving clockwise around the painting from the top left corner are bands in shades of white, amethyst purple, sapphire blue, and fog gray. Down the right side of the canvas are magenta, ruby red, dove gray, and plum purple. Moving left across the bottom edge are golden tan, peacock blue, slate gray, and grass green. Finally, up the left edge are vivid red, fuchsia, and inky black. The artist signed the painting in the lower left corner, “Kupka.”
