The Ring of Dreams: Joseph and His Brothers

Peter Lipman-Wulf

1966

This is a painting of two abstract figures interacting over a colorful, textured tapestry. The figures are outlined in black, resembling sketches, with muted, soft backgrounds. One figure is holding a richly textured cloth with patches of primary colors and neutral tones. The tapestry has an organic, flowing design, contrasting with the more linear portrayal of the figures. The expression and posture of the figures suggest interaction. The style is reminiscent of Pablo Picasso with abstracted simplicity and use of colors amidst a monochrome palette. — Joseph and His Brothers I
