Associated Names

Max Weber

Artist, American, born Russia (now Poland), 1881 - 1961

The image features an arrangement of geometric shapes and bold lines within a rectangular boundary. It showcases an abstract design with angular shapes surrounding an eye. The composition suggests a partial outline of a human head with elements resembling familiar facial features like an eye, nose, and mouth. The elements are stylized using abstraction to break down the components into simple, geometric forms, evoking the essence of a face within a Cubist style framework.
