TItle not known (Hassan Al Said 16)

Abstraction with gray background, squares, and linear markings

Many of the formal elements present within this composition are indicative of Shakir Hassan Al Said’s abstract representations. Linear scrapings, in various configurations, can be seen throughout the gray background and within the bluish squares lining the bottom of the picture plane. Towards the top, a jagged crack cuts through a black block and a smear of blue and white. The colors of reds and yellows are relegated to small triangular blocks to the left and right.
