Boldly delineated forms overlap and intersect across the canvas, creating a wonderfully graphic arrangement of fragmented figures, architectural shapes and gestural details.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe restrained palette of ochre, charcoal, grey, cream and powder blue gives the work a particularly sophisticated presence. Heavy black outlines and loosely worked passages of paint lend the composition an immediacy characteristic of the continued influence of the European avant-garde on French artists during the postwar period.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe painting is presented in an ornate giltwood frame, whose traditional profile and decorative corner details provide an elegant counterpoint to the distinctly modern composition.
