Beauty
Moses Feigin painted both realist and abstract paintings, sometimes mixing both styles in one painting. In the late 1960s, he became fascinated by the world of the carnival, seemingly evoked by the central figure in this picture. This work is painted in his signature palette of red, yellow, indigo, and orange.
