Subject

Composition with bulls and butterflies

Description

This composition is set against a series of rainbow-like color bands. In the upper third of the picture plane the outline of a bull filled with interlacing lines stretches horizontally floating in an ambiguous space. Various other animalistic forms fill this space while in the lower portion of the composition a multitude of shapes and lines obscure the representation of another bull with interlace. A detailed butterfly is depicted between these two bull figures.
