Artist, American, 1906 - 1991

The image features intricate, fluid lines on a white background, creating an abstract composition. The lines suggest the shape of a figure in motion. There are two areas of dark shading creating contrast, one resembling a plume and the other a trailing cloak or tail. The interplay of line and shadow conveys movement and grace, resembling a moment captured mid-dance or mid-leap.
