Untitled (Skyscraper and Horse)

1919

C. Bertram Hartman

Associated Names

C. Bertram Hartman

Artist, American, 1882 - 1960

The image consists of angular shapes and curving lines weaving intricately across the composition. The design features a variety of pointed outlines and swirling forms. The overlapping patterns create a complex tapestry that hints at a mixture of buildings and natural elements. The repetition of stairs, arches, and geometric forms contributes to a sense of structure and dimension, blurring the line between constructed and organic motifs.
