Shantytown
Description
Composition in shades of gray, blue, green, earthy, red, black and orange. Thick texture and using spatula. It depicts slum in small and colorful geometrical areas with clear largest ranges and overlapping dark, a dark on the left of center and other light wider center to the right and two on the top half, from the left and on the right, converging on the clearer vertical area. All through the hood, find themselves shacks with windows and light strands. In some areas the figures are seen: one Carajá India; suggests a figure to be within a door; more above a window, front, using white shirt; and one in the lower on the right corner from the front, wearing a shirt in orange tone. Some are less visible to the bottom of mixed composition. On the right from the bottom up, highlights three largest and most established houses, the first two with roofs.
