A collection of office equipment, food, artist’s tools, and body parts are arranged across or embedded within black, carnation-pink, or nickel-gray zones in this stylized, surreal, horizontal painting. Near the bottom of the composition, the pink zone reaches from the left edge of the canvas about hallway across. There the partial strokes appear unfinished so the gray surface beneath is visible. From left to right, objects in this zone include a daisy-like flower in a glass bottle, a red mug, a paintbrush next to squirts of scarlet red, pink-shaded white, and black paint, and, in the gray zone to the right, a ruler. The black zone stretches beyond this, taking up the horizonal center of the composition. Objects from left to right in this zone include a sandwich, a watch, a bunch of three bananas, an open book, and the eyes, forehead, and hair of a person painted in pink and outlined in black. Near the center is a collection of three shoes with nails lining the soles on the ends of spindly legs poking out of the black zone. Above that are a triangular square, a clock, a pencil, another triangle, perhaps a tool, and what could be the upper part of a head with a white-outlined hand covering the face. A gold-colored desk lamp with a green shade pointing down from its curved neck is along the right edge of the canvas in the top right corner. In the gray zone in the top quarter of the composition, a person with pink-colored skin, red-framed and -lensed glasses, and black hair seems to float on their back as in a pool. A white square object may represent a canvas and a tangerine-orange semicircle is difficult to interpret. A few vivid green branches angle down over the floating person from the top left corner, and a sky-blue circle could be the moon in a gray sky. The artist signed the lower right corner, “Philip Guston.”
