Signed and dated by the artist, lower right corner. Presented in a rustic, distressed, vintage wood frame. Image, 31.69"H x 21.44"W.

Influenced by Max Beckman; Max Beckmann was a German painter, draftsman, print maker, sculptor, and writer. Although he is classified as an Expressionist artist, he rejected both the term and the movement. Zoa's images are subconsciously manifested into a juxtaposition of themes and figures in motion.
