Artist, American, 1909 - 1994

The image consists of intersecting lines and geometric shapes like rectangles, triangles, and curves. The abstract composition resembles architectural elements that could be found in a futuristic cityscape, with linear structures and curved forms suggesting connections to buildings, ladders, chimneys, and arches or bridges. Shading and overlapping lines add depth, creating an abstract impression of a dynamic and interconnected urban environment.
