Two figures face off against each other, the shorthand characters exploding across the canvas. I find this painting is particularly appealing in this modern age where internet slang and little smiling faces have taken over from traditional forms of written expression. Maybe the two figures are having an argument over a misunderstanding.
Also interesting is the flow of the painting, waves of red and yellow rushing along. These waves contrast with the sharp shorthand characters in the painting.
The colours are vibrant, in stark contrast to Pollock's 1950s work, which makes this piece hugely appealing to me.
