Lorser Feitelson - Genesis #2 [1934]

A painter, Lorser Feitelson (Savannah, Georgia, 1898 - Los Angeles, California, 1978) became known for abstraction but briefly explored mural painting of regionalist subjects. In his signature work, Feitelson used many images and symbols that evoke dreams and address the subconscious mind. He was a key figure in modern art in California at a time when that area had little exposure to avant-garde styles of which he explored a variety including Surrealism, Cubism and Kinetic work.
