Minna Citron

Associated Names

Minna Citron

Artist, American, 1896 - 1991

The image contains various geometric shapes and swirling lines arranged in a complex composition. A sharp triangular form is at the center, layered over a textured surface. To the right is a delicate arch with pebble-like details. Chaotic linear scribbles weave throughout the image. A white, quadrilateral shape emerges from the background. These elements collectively form an abstract scene reminiscent of objects like tents, paths, and waves.
