Three Figures in a Room

1967

Jirí Balcar

Associated Names

Jirí Balcar

Artist, Czech, 1929 - 1968

The image shows abstract shapes and lines outlining three figures sitting around a table. The figures are drawn with thick, dark lines and are looking towards a small, bright rectangular shape in the background. Above them, there are abstract red letter forms "HIJK M" against a dark backdrop. The color palette includes shades of brown, muted pinks, and blues, creating an abstract depiction of people gathered in a dimly lit room with a dreamlike quality.
