Artist, American, 1903 - 1981

The image contains jagged and angular shapes intertwined in a dynamic composition with sharp lines and contrasting forms. It suggests possible figures resembling dancers or creatures in motion through the arrangement of limbs and heads. Some shapes give the impression of movement akin to flight or a leap, creating a sense of rhythm and energy like fragmented pieces of a shattered mirror rearranged in an unconventional order.
