The background of this largely abstract painting is dark gray with a collection of brushy white elements that dissipate outward from the center. Around this center float several white rectangular forms shown from various angles. Interspersed among the rectangular forms are five abstract, robot-like masses made up of yellow appendages. In the bottom third of the canvas, overlaying this composition, are additional white graffiti-like scribbles. — Roberto Matta

Poly-joueurs des cartes (Card Players) , ca. 1957
