Original artwork description:
The large head of a reclined male figure, seen in three quarters view, dominates the left center portion of the canvas. The expression on this face is one of contemplation or dreaming as the figure comes awake and becomes aware of the weight of the knee of a floating, reclining female figure hovering above and influencing the thoughts/predicament of the male figure.
Other influential figures from the couple's life or the dream of the male figure seem to gather and march into the space from the lower right quadrant, thus injecting an air of gravitas into the largely deconstructed scene unfolding in concert with the male/female interaction.
Influences, among others, include Max Beckmann, Edvard Munch, Bob Thompson, George McNeil, Richard Diebenkorn, David Park, Francesco Clemente, R.B. Kitaj and Willem de Kooning.
