Description |
A modern interpretation of David's Death of Marat, showing a nude male figure laying dead on a bed with a standing nude female in front of the bed, standing straight like a statue. The scene is created with a series of lines of color with adds texure and a sense of movement to the scene, but also simplifies and abstracts, and flattens the scene. There is a hint of red paint to look like blood by the man's hand and on the blue sheet, but no other indication other than the title to reveal what the subject is. |
