This decoupage is a dynamic assemblage of abstract forms, where bold primary colors playfully intersect with stark blacks and crisp whites. Each cut-out element is meticulously placed, contributing to an overall sense of kinetic energy and modernist balance. Geometric shapes, seemingly in motion, float and collide across the plane, evoking a sense of orchestrated chaos that is both vibrant and calculated. The artwork is a lively composition that channels the vivacious spirit of the cut-and-paste technique, a perfect fit for an environment that celebrates boldness and creativity.
Vera Neumann's abstract watercolor and collage art is a vibrant tapestry of color and texture, reflecting her innovative approach to design.

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.
