Associated Names

Juliette Steele

Artist, American, 1909 - 1980

The image shows a variety of swirling lines and geometric forms against a speckled background. Curved, wavy, straight, and dotted lines intersect, creating a complex network. Shapes resembling leaves or eyes are present, along with an object resembling a wheel or gear within a dark, shadowy central mass. The composition suggests an abstract interplay of elements, appearing to float in a dreamlike space.
