Long Description
This is a strange painting entitled "Nude Descending a Railcar." Very abstracxt and geometric, it is of a nude figure, breasts exposed, genitals covered by a leaf, that seems to be climbing down a small ladder, assumingly in a railcar. The figure's head is a large triangle, with one very large eye. No mouth. No nose. The eye is blue.
History
Painting belonged to my grandmother, and hung in the living room for over 20 years. We do not know who painted it or when.
