This decoupage celebrates the bold interplay of form and color, with sinuous curves in a vivid blue that ripple across the canvas, intersected by a striking diagonal in a fiery red. The composition is at once dynamic and rhythmic, reminiscent of the ebb and flow of waves with the red streak marking a daring path, like a comet slicing through a starless night sky. The bold geometric shapes at the base anchor the piece in stability. It's a graphic statement that pulses with energy and modernity, ideal for invigorating a space with a sense of movement and boldness.
Vera Neumann's abstract watercolor and collage art is a vibrant tapestry of color and texture, reflecting her innovative approach to design. With a keen eye for combining bold hues and organic shapes, Neumann's creations often exude a sense of whimsy and spontaneity. Her use of watercolor lends a fluidity to her work, with colors bleeding into one another to create soft transitions and harmonious blends.

The result is a collection of art that is dynamic, engaging, and truly unique, showcasing Neumann's distinctive style and creative vision.
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.
