Associated Names

Max Arthur Cohn

Artist, American, 1903 - 1998

The image shows geometric shapes and lines forming an abstract quartet. The figures are created using rectangles and triangles, giving them an angular appearance. The shapes suggest musicians playing instruments like violins and a cello, arranged as though in an orchestra ensemble. The abstract style evokes a sense of rhythm and harmony.
