Artist, American, born 1941

The image showcases bold, flat shapes in yellow, red, blue, gray, brown, and black colors. The composition appears abstract. The main form resembles a reclining figure, with brown and black areas suggesting a head resting on a blue and gray surface. The gray expanse forms the bulk of the object. Red blotches on the gray surface are present, alongside surrounding vibrant yellow and red areas that complement the design.
