Flowering Tree, 1960

This painting of a blossoming tree captivates with its warm, powerful hues, which evoke associations of fire in the background. Various influences converge in this artwork, such as those from Asian art, evident in the depiction of blossoms and trees in the background, as well as Expressionism, through the fiery color palette that centers the tree. The contrast between foreground and background creates a dynamic that draws the viewer into the scene with a powerful pull.
