George Bunker

Artist, American, 1923 - 1991

The image shows a collection of broad rectangular forms in rich tones, with varying shades of reddish-orange and purple creating an abstract composition. Bold strokes evoke energetic movement similar to a vibrant sunset or distant fiery landscape. In the lower section, blocks of dark blue and red suggest the silhouette of mountains or a city skyline at dusk. The hazy blending of colors enhances the impression of depth.
