Executed in 1966. Clouds are a recurring motif in Oppenheim’s oeuvre. They are visualized in many forms and convey a wide range of expressions, typically appearing as hard-edged abstract forms. In this pencil drawing, Oppenheim uses bold, geometric shapes to contrast the transparent and transformative quality of the clouds as they appear to gracefully move across the composition.
