Artist, American, 1908 - 1984

The image displays swirling lines and shapes intersecting in various directions, forming an intricate abstract pattern dominated by dark, bold strokes. These intersecting lines and circles suggest familiar objects such as coiled wires or chaotic cityscapes viewed from above, yet the abstract nature leaves much to the imagination.
