Artist, American, 1907 - 1995

The image shows swirling and curling lines forming an abstract face integrated with hand-like shapes. In the center, there is a human face with spirals and curls resembling hair, eyes, and a nose. To the right, elongated, flowing patterns resemble a curtain or plant strands. On the left, a hand-like form with curving lines and patterns suggests scales or feathers, enhancing the abstract representation of transformation. The elements create a resemblance to a human face intertwined with nature-inspired forms.
