Artist, American, active c. 1935

The image displays a pattern comprised of geometric shapes, including triangles, squares, and parallelograms, arranged in an intricate, abstract design. Prominent lines create a star-like shape in the center, with red diamond forms and blue parallelograms that resemble three-dimensional cubes. Portions of the pattern are filled with floral and striped motifs, drawing a connection to patchwork quilt designs. The interplay of shapes and colors suggests a faceted, mosaic-like appearance reminiscent of crystalline structures.
