La Mesa c. 1947

"La Mesa" is a monotype by Adja Yunkers, created circa 1947. The artwork features a dark landscape with two large, white, cloud-like shapes dominating the upper portion of the composition. Several smaller white shapes appear scattered throughout the piece, creating a sense of depth and movement. The dark background is punctuated by three small orange circles, suggesting a setting sun. The artist's signature appears in the lower right corner. Yunkers, known for his abstract style, utilized monotype, a unique printmaking technique, to achieve this abstract expressionist work.
