Description |
This work is painted with house-paint on board and is inlaid on a white painted wood frame. "Figure" depicts a whimsically rendered abstract figure comprised of simple geometric shapes. The figure is given a white background with a green border. It is composed of flat planes of color, and is positioned in a full frontal and centered manner. Tolliver, as with many of his works, created this piece using a muted color palette. There are punches of red that comprise the figure's features alongside tonal pinks, greens, and yellows. The artist's signature runs vertically between the figure's legs as "MOSET." |
