The Figure 5 In Gold

     The Figure 5 In Gold was created by Charles Demuth, in 1628. He used oil on cardboard and was created based on the poem "The Great Figure" written by William Carlos Williams.

Among the rain
and lights
I saw the figure 5
in gold
on a red
fire truck
moving
tense
unheeded
to gong clangs
siren howls
and wheels rumbling
through the dark city

Anistials down at bottom: W.C.W. (Poets) It was also a modern painting with no people and abstract shapes. Also there aren't any people instead there are names.
