DescriptionThe image depicts three black male figures standing around a pool table placed on a plain white background; a blue triangular lamp hangs down in the upper left corner. Filling the left half of the composition is a male figure clothed in a yellow shirt with his pool cue poised to take a shot; he wears a baseball cap backwards on his head and his pants feature a three-dimensional pocket. Right of center is a figure wearing a yellow driving cap and red and white striped pants holding a pool cue in his left hand. On the far right is a figure wearing a blue shirt and bucket hat crouched beside his pool cue looking closely at the game on the table. The figures are clustered in the right half of the canvas and the work has many three dimensional areas using cloth and other materials.On View
