This painting shows a tall, skinny figure with a bird’s head and body. The figure wears a long, striped dress and stands on a yellow base. The background looks like it’s made of torn paper and paint splashes. The bird’s beak is sharp, and its feathers are drawn in quick, jagged lines. The colors are mostly brown, black, and yellow, with some green and blue patches. Check out Edward Millman for more of his strange, mixed-up figures.
