Associated Names

Howard Daum

Artist, American, 1918 - 1988

The image depicts swirling and intersecting lines forming abstract shapes throughout the composition. Shapes resembling eyes, hands, and faces are woven into the design. Some areas suggest a jagged-toothed creature. Hand-like forms and eye shapes are scattered across the image, hinting at a chaotic assembly of body parts or figures. A triangular shape with a central eye-like form is visible toward the lower right.
