If artworks can be thought to have a sound, this one would be emitting some lively music playing at full volume.  While entitled Tango, this seems to be more like a Jitterbug dance.  Peter Juvonen was a well-known painter in the 1980s, abstracting and fragmenting shapes and colors in the same vivacious manner as in this painting.
