DescriptionRaised deck crosses picture horitontally in foreground, supported by struts creating a triangular pattern. On top, four large, plastic containers in red, orange and white are lined up next to one another. Middle ground is blue and background is industrial landscape with satellite dish, highway and distant mountains.eMuseum Notes
A
simple rooftop scene in Mexico becomes a symphony of shape and color in this
composition, in which the triangular supports of the deck mimic the mountains
in the distance and the artificial colors of man-made goods compete with the
splendor of nature.
