About this work
Overview

Subject & Meaning
The drawing features two dark, towering forms emerging from a cloudy base, set against a soft, blurry background of pale blues, yellows, and greens.
Technique & Style
Olitski used pastel to achieve a dreamy, hazy effect, with loose and uneven brushstrokes that give the impression of smudged chalk, and lines that appear to dissolve into the surrounding color.
