In a harmonious interplay of geometry and color, this piece captures a mid-century aesthetic through its angular composition and contrasting hues. A golden ochre plane meets a field of slate blue punctuated by delicate white specks, reminiscent of a starlit sky or a frosted windowpane. Sharp, linear strokes in a warm coral create a striking juxtaposition, their precision directing the eye and drawing attention to the balance and tension between the segments. This artwork embodies a sense of structured beauty, perfect for adding a sophisticated and contemplative statement to a space.
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.
