This vibrant painting features a striking array of concentric arcs in warm, gradient hues of yellow, orange, and red. Each arc is meticulously rendered, creating a harmonious flow of color that radiates from the bottom right corner. The bold lines and geometric precision evoke a sense of energy and movement, while the color transition adds depth and warmth. Encased in a bright, solid red border, this artwork embodies the essence of mid-century modern design, perfect for adding a touch of dynamic elegance and visual impact to any space.
The majority of Vera's original artwork is unsigned and undated. This absence of her signature is largely due to her original artwork being used in textile and houseware designs, where her trademarked signature was later added. Typically, her original artwork was named after being incorporated into a master strike off. In some instances, the date of the piece was added to the back; however, this date may signify when the artwork was trademarked or presented to a customer. Some of her original pieces include notes on the back, offering a glimpse into the inner workings of The Vera Company.
