It measures 48” x 48” and is a composition of mixed media. It is a composition on masonite or a similar material. There is flat black and gloss black paint. perhaps the gloss is lacquer. The surface is highly textures. The black areas have small finish nails lying flat attached to the surface. The other areas have sand or some other particulate in the paint. It is signed, titled and dated on the reverse. The date looks like “1961” but it could be “1969.” Please see pictures. Stylistically, this work looks very much like his work from 1961-1962. The piece is in good condition. There is a faint scratch in the upper left and some very small chips on the edges. Please see pictures. There also might be very, very light surface dirt throughout. less
