Abstract shapes
In contrast to the soft, biomorphic shapes in many of Krasner's earlier paintings, a number of hard-edged abstract forms can be found in this later work.
Brimming with color
The work is filled with three main colors – kelly green, carmine red, and a fuchsia pink.
Geometric forms
The geometric forms used in Krasner's ‘Primary Series’ can be seen in this work, described by the art historian Cindy Nemser as ‘expansive yet contained … stately [and] slow-moving’.
Cracks and scratches
If you get right up close to 'Palingenesis', you can start to see the cracks and scratches in the paint.
Metropolitan Mexico
Beloff was a Russian painter who lived and worked in Mexico City for most of her life. Here, she has painted one of the city's busiest streets, bustling with cars and people.
Parked by the park
The trees in Alameda Central, the city's oldest public park, are visible to the left of the picture, contrasting with the lines of parked cars nearby.
Coexisting in the city
The work reflects the liveliness of the area, with the dozens of passersby coexisting with the cars and the tram.
