Artist, American, 1924 - 1999

The image displays a series of thick, black lines and shapes intersecting and curving in an abstract manner. These lines form a central figure resembling a person in motion. The arching black lines above and beside the figure suggest a doorway or an incomplete rectangle, framing the form. Below, three parallel horizontal lines add to the composition, resembling a platform or stage.
