This does not work, does it!
It looks comical to me, like an attempt at an abstract painting based on oh-well-let’s-put-some-shapes-together. Isn’t that what abstraction is, just shapes that don’t represent anything? Soooo, wrooooong! If it were a matter of throwing some shapes together, then this thing would be good. Nice shapes, good colors. But so off, so mindless and heartless. The eye just does not want to move through this flipped version.
Now consider the original. What a relief! What an engaging composition!
(See previous post for clues to the genesis of the painting.)
