Created in 1962, this work reflects Kokines’s early engagement with Abstract Expressionism and gestural mark-making. The composition is characterized by layered forms and energetic brushwork that evoke a sense of movement and spatial tension.

In the 1960s, his paintings were exhibited at prominent Chicago venues, including the Art Institute of Chicago and the Richard Feigen Gallery, as well as nationally in New York.
