Cara-costea "beach Games" Circa 1960 - Young Painting - Commère, Lorjou, Jansem

A work related to "Young Painting" is easily recognizable and this watercolor emanates the spirit of this artistic movement. A surface coated with a shade between orange and red, crossed like a score by colored touches and the lines of the drawing to compose the animation of a beach with grace and poetry.
