Leon Golub, Reclining Youth, 1959
Images of Leon Golub, Reclining Youth

- Short Desaturated colors of paint vaguely articulate a human form reclining.
- Long In a muddled scene of faded gray, blue, and pink colors, a human form is vaguely defined by a more precise application of color and darker marks. The person reclines against one hand, their legs extending in the other direction.
