Artist, American, 20th century

The image shows overlapping and intertwining shapes with irregular, jagged blue lines forming an abstract form at the top center. In the background are stylized human figures in black, brown, and blue, positioned in a dance-like motion. The lower part of the image displays a mosaic-like pattern with a zigzag design in yellow and black. The use of lines and colors in this abstract composition can evoke familiar shapes and patterns.
