Success­ful as a conservative painter, Senda struck out in 1956 toward a freer mode of painting. The canvases are dynamic, his interest is in space and movement. The strokes cluster and group them­selves, moving with ease from canvas edge to converge with force. New Dimension and Sound of Valley are the most successful.
