Artist, Belgian, 1889 - 1972

The image contains vertical and horizontal lines forming rectangular shapes resembling skyscrapers. The exaggerated height and angles of the buildings create a dynamic cityscape. Rectangles are intersected by circles and ellipses, forming a pattern resembling streetlights or a road. A small rectangular shape features a human-like figure looking out, giving a sense of scale and liveliness. Cloud-like shapes float among the buildings, adding a sky element to the urban abstraction.
