Bertram Goodman

Artist, American, 1904 - 1988

The image depicts a complex and abstract composition of interlocking curved and angular lines, rounded forms, and elongated shapes intersecting at various angles. It gives the impression of machinery, resembling gears, levers, and mechanical arms interlacing in a complex pattern. The combination of curves and straight edges brings to mind the inner workings of an industrial device, with components like pipes and bolts visible within the organized chaos.
