Original artwork description:

The direct figure-ground composition, here rendered in thick, spontaneous passages of colorful oil, recalls the anatomical form of the frontal view of a female torso. Right hip cocked to the viewer's left, breasts intact and side by side, the genitalia area hinted at by swirly ovals of charcoal and painted line, all point to an understanding of the body of a woman moving by rapidly toward the right, and held in check only by the right edge of the canvas. The title's words "plane" and "girl" are assumptive and reductive, keeping in tone with the simple aspirations of the painting as a whole.

Influences, among others, include Max Beckmann, Edvard Munch, Bob Thompson, George McNeil, Richard Diebenkorn, David Park, Francesco Clemente, R.B. Kitaj and Willem de Kooning.
