Pearl Gibbo

Artist, American, 1900 - 1949

The image displays a series of vertical lines and shapes in alternating patterns of dark blue, light blue, and white, forming an abstract composition. These stripes may resemble a woven fabric or textured textile design, with a repetitive pattern that mimics traditional striped cloths. The arrangement of these lines creates structure and rhythm, similar to the warp and weft found in weaving.
