The image displays intersecting lines and angled shapes creating a chaotic and intricate pattern. The abstract design incorporates sharp diagonal lines intersecting in various places, forming a complex network. Some segments take on triangular forms while others suggest the outline of a deconstructed star. The arrangement is within a square on a larger white background, emphasizing the central abstraction.

Brice Marden, Jennifer Melby · 1986 · sugarlift aquatint on Rives BFK paper ·  Accession ID  1998.77.12

The image shows a square canvas with angular, fragmented shapes and intersecting lines. The forms resemble sharp triangular peaks and linear strokes that interlace like tangled branches or shattered glass fragments. The composition is abstract and may evoke connections to broken typographic elements or a jumbled puzzle, where recognition of familiar forms is abstracted into a complex mosaic.
