Soft Construction with Boiled Beans (Premonition of Civil War)

Dublin Core

Description

An oil on canvas painting with an abstract image of a giant with disfigured and disjointed limbs in the foreground. The giant's head is at the top of the painting with the torso below that is supported by an arm and a leg. Below the torso is another part of the torso with various body parts on the ground around it. The background is a blue sky with white clouds and a desert-like landscape. Baked beans are scattered in the foreground beneath the giant and a cabinet is below the giant supporting its lower torso, with a man in the background looking down at the body parts.
