This ode to color and movement is a 346-piece wooden jigsaw puzzle of the 1955 painting Jeunesse by American painter Stanton MacDonald-Wright.

The puzzle has abstract piece shapes and diverse connector shapes, inspired by mid-century modernism and the atomic age, and an irregular edge (no recognizable whimsies). Puzzle design by David Figueiras.

We've rated this puzzle as kind-of easy, because it is easier than our average puzzle, but it's not super easy because it's harder to pick out the different shades of color than you'd think, and because there are no straight edge pieces (irregular edge). 

Stanton Macdonald-Wright co-founded the early abstract art movement of Synchromism, which tried to arrange colors in a visual symphony, inspired by advances in color science.   This is an outstanding example of Macdonald-Wright's style painted in 1955.  Comedian Steve Martin talks about a similar Stanton MacDonald-Wright painting as one of his favorite things at Moma in this 5 min youtube video.
