The title, Dichotomic Organization, was Lorser Feitelson’s profound-sounding way of indicating that this painting is divided in two. The left half is uninterrupted tomato-soup red, while the right half includes two colors—black and a light blue—which, in combination with the red, reinforce the dynamism of the self-assured spiky triangles. The tall, narrow wedge of black, whose top-to-bottom side signals the painting’s bifurcation, has a right-facing point situated halfway above the picture’s bottom edge, where the horizon commonly occurs in a conventional landscape. With an artist of Feitelson’s background and breadth, this is certainly no accident.
