    jeez cant u google!

    its its one of his later paintings i believe, almost expressionist, uses the impetuo(sp) techinique of puttin oil paint straight onto canvas from tube, vivid brush strokes, hard to make out what is going on becsue it is abstract and he never explained his paintings, but 3 figures in foreground, one old old man bending down with hands over face, seems to be bleeding, a woman bends down to a child, who also seems to be bleeding. might be in a housing estate, looks like soldiers on left hand side, fire, vivid colour, he lived through many war times....
    one of his most famous paintings, marks turning point in hs art etc etc etc
    i cant find a pic,
    hope it helps

    Is it in a gallery or in private ownership? If it's in a gallery, it may be online in an illustrated list of the gallery's acquisitions.
