Edward Landon

Artist, American, 1911 - 1984

Various geometric shapes and lines intersect on a textured red background, creating an abstract composition. Angular lines and triangles converge and separate across the canvas, some forming arrow-like shapes while others resemble parts of mechanical structures. Circular and rectangular elements in blue punctuate the design, evoking images of wheels or buttons, and lines suggest pathways or connections like a network. The image has an abstract quality, similar to a schematic or a complex diagram connecting various components.
