Artist, American, 1921 - 2021

The image depicts an explosion of lines and rectangular shapes scattered across a textured background. The lines appear to emanate from a central point in a starburst pattern. Some shapes are layered on top of one another, creating a sense of depth and movement. The overall appearance evokes the idea of shattered wood or debris arranged chaotically across the canvas.
