The work is dominated by a large, irregular area of black paint on the left side of the paper. Strokes of yellow and gray paint are interposed in the area of black. A complimentary shape of blue paint emerges from the lower left side of the painting and winds its way around the black area on the right side. The area of blue is adjacent to a slanted stroke of dark gray paint on the far right. In the center of the work is a square of blue and green paint outlined in black.
