Artist, American, 1919 - 1993

The image features intersecting lines creating an abstract composition. The word "LACKAWANNA" arcs prominently across the center, reminiscent of a banner. Swirling lines suggest water, and abstract forms hint at a boat or ferry. Geometric shapes in the background hint at urban architecture or a cityscape and vertical lines in the foreground could symbolize a fence or railing.
