Artist, American, 1923 - 1995

The image contains various shapes and lines that intertwine and overlap to form an abstract composition. Multiple human faces and figures emerge from the artwork, some with detailed features and others more suggestive and sketch-like. Among them, there is a profile of a person with a distinct haircut, resembling a mohawk. Another figure is colored orange and positioned upright against a green circular backdrop. Bird-like shapes and a detailed depiction of a fox's head are also present. Abstract splashes of color in brown, purple, and green are scattered throughout, mimicking cloud or foliage textures. The overall arrangement presents a whimsical collage of disparate elements mingling freely.
