Alexander Raymond's paintings are densely atmospheric (and very much indoor) scenarios which sometimes stray into the overtly eerie--a cheerfully colored cushion floating in space, mid-air explosions of color, odd goings-on with fur hats--an effect heightened by theatrical lighting and unnaturally radiant colors. Some works may depict more conventional window views or still lifes, but the total effect remains one of disquiet.
