Fantastic Bird

Description for blind and low-vision visitors

A vertical composition centered on a single fantastic bird. Its long neck arches upward and curves over to a small fish-like head with a large round red eye, crest, and open beak. The rounded body is a patchwork of multicolored dotted segments in red, blue, green, ochre, and white, and a long striped tail of fine colored lines sweeps down to the right. Slender orange legs end in curved black talons at the lower left. The background is filled with horizontal wavy bands of red, blue, and cream. The artist's signature and year appear at the lower center. The style is naïve and densely decorative.
