Associated Names

Harry Hoehn

Artist, American, 1918 - 1974

The image contains a network of thick, black lines and shapes intersecting across a textured gray background. This abstract composition features geometric elements that loosely resemble the scaffolding of a building or the dense branches of a tree. The combination of vertical and diagonal lines with softer background shading creates a sense of depth and complexity.
