This image shows a collage of printed and painted papers, with ink, pencil, and colored pencil markings. The papers are arranged in a collage on a board, with some cut into irregular shapes and others left whole. The papers feature various images, including a black-and-white photograph of a man in shorts, and abstract designs in green, yellow, and purple. The collage is dated 1955-59/1973, suggesting that it was created over a period of time. The use of different materials and techniques adds texture and depth to the piece.
