Artist, American, 1911 - 1960

The image shows bold, overlapping shapes and lines creating an abstract composition. Two figures are in the foreground, with simplified, block-like facial features. One figure appears to hold something like a cigarette, while the other touches their neck, set against vivid patches of blue and red. In the background, a smaller figure is visible, enhancing the abstract arrangement. The overall scene suggests two people standing in front of a fence, with abstracted hints of environment and emotion through bold colors and shapes.
