Artist, American, 1915 - 2001

The image shows a collection of jagged, angular shapes in a cityscape setting. Tall, jagged buildings frame a vibrant yellow sky transitioning into a deep blue. The structures stand like monolithic giants against the sky. In the foreground, an angular shape resembling a person with an arm raised to their brow observes the scene. The stark lines and geometric patterns evoke urban elements such as rooftops, ladders, and water towers.
