Observations

Across all four panels, recognizable figures and portrait-like faces emerge from thick, highly visible impasto and broad gestural strokes. Saturated coral, blue, turquoise, yellow, and black create a forceful, high-contrast collage-like field, with dense overlapping crowds and boldly simplified clothing and faces.
