Margaret Lowengrund

Artist, American, 1905 - 1957

The image shows an abstract composition of curved lines and sweeping forms that create a sense of flowing motion. A central form resembles a calla lily with curved petals and a stem. Surrounding it are undulating lines and textured surfaces that suggest draped fabric or flowing water, adding to the dreamlike quality of the artwork. The interplay of shapes invites viewers to connect with organic forms in nature.
