In front of it unfolds an intense blossom head in shades of red, orange, and yellow.

They are simple forms that everyone recognizes and whose meaning seems fixed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1736\" data-start=\"1452\"\u003eIn these paintings, the form remains while its execution becomes increasingly uncertain. Color no longer follows the expected paths, decisions become visible, corrections leave new traces.
