Title not known (Al-Tai 1)

Subject

Desert-scape with Barricade

Description

The swirl of sandy tones with teal blues gives this composition a dramatic dynamism. The view is obstructed, however, by a barricade of jutting beams that stop the viewer from proceeding visually into the space. Tension is created by the contrast in shape and color with the dark beams being rigidly placed against the fluid, neutral background.
