Untitled (Indian Space Composition)

c. 1945

Howard Daum

Associated Names

Howard Daum

Artist, American, 1918 - 1988

The image displays an interplay of curved and angular lines, creating an abstract composition. The shapes resemble familiar objects like hands and faces, intertwined within the design. Crosshatching and varying shades add depth to the forms, suggesting interconnected human and vegetal shapes. The overall effect is a tapestry-like intertwining of elements, where echoes of organic life are carefully etched and woven together within the artwork.
