The artwork features a central motif with bold, abstract forms, combining elements of geometric shapes and organic lines. Dominated by a mysterious arrangement of colors and shapes, the composition invites contemplation and interpretation. The bold use of color, including white, orange, yellow, and black, creates a striking visual contrast. At the forefront, a yellow circle appears prominently, while white, flame-like shapes extend from it, adding to the dynamic and enigmatic nature of the piece. The signature of the artist, Francis Picabia, is subtly placed at the bottom right corner, alongside the date of creation, 1949. This piece exemplifies Picabia’s exploration of abstract forms and his contribution to the Abstract Art movement.
