Carl Robert Holty

Associated Names

Carl Robert Holty

Artist, American, 1900 - 1973

The image features bold, angular shapes and lines intersecting and overlapping within a rectangular frame. This abstract composition evokes the form of a human figure with outstretched limbs, suggesting movement or a pose. The arrangement of geometric elements might resemble a person engaged in an action. On the right side, wavy lines suggest water, bringing to mind a figure near a body of water.
