Sylvia Wald

Artist, American, 1915 - 2011

The image shows an abstract composition with a network of meandering lines and shapes. A central amorphous shape resembling an inverted teardrop with branching lines overlays a backdrop of diffused blue and reddish hues. The crisscrossing lines suggest neural pathways or tangled tree branches. Contrasting patches, such as a dark blob towards the bottom and subtle dabs of green and red, enhance the dynamic, organic feeling of the abstract landscape.
