Artist, French, 1885 - 1941

The image shows a composition of vibrant, swirling shapes and lines that form concentric circles and arcs. The overlapping circles and semicircles in bright shades of orange, green, blue, yellow, and purple create an abstract design. The rounded forms and flowing curves evoke familiar objects such as a kaleidoscope pattern or a spinning wheel, blending colors that interact dynamically on a canvas of soft, muted tones.
