I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold by Charles Demuth, 1928
Apparently this whole thing started as a poem - a friend of his wrote about seeing a gold '5' clang past on a red fire truck, and this is the painted version of that.
Erisava: Is this a painting, or just a really fancy street sign?

The gold number does most of the heavy lifting - everything else feels like backup.
