About this work

This painting shows loose, blue shapes floating on a light background. Some look like bubbles or blobs. Lines connect them like branches or drips. The colors are mostly pale blue and white. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes. It feels like a rough draft, not a finished work. The title hints it might be a study for something else. Look up Museum of Ethnography to see more works like this.
