Butterfly
1976
180.0 x 224.0 cm
A black silhouette of what appears to be a horse is centrally placed against a salmon-pink background in this horizontal painting. Facing our left in profile, the horse’s nose is cropped by the boundary of the painting. One rear leg is bent, and one front leg is straight. The other two legs, the tail, and mane are not represented. Two black diagonal perpendicular lines cross the painting, beginning and ending in the four corners to create an X. The lines converge with the silhouette of the horse. Irregular brush strokes are visible throughout.
