description

Mediums: oil on white tarpaulin.
Location: private collection.

One of the three large-scale compositions on canvas painted by the artist for the Italian ancient Roman temple Maison Carrеe and located there for five years from the moment of their creation. The artist created this abstract composition spontaneously, with the help of a piece of cloth soaked in paint, which he threw onto the canvas to get colourful prints. The name for this picture also came by chance. While working on the image, Julian Schnabel found a lost certificate of an unknown young girl named Catherine Marie Anji in the back room of the museum and decided to give the work her name.
