Artist, American, 1912 - 2006

The image features a pattern of repeating octagonal shapes and diamond lines forming a grid with warm hues of orange and brown. In the foreground, an abstract silhouette of a man wearing a hat appears. The pattern of geometric shapes on the right side resembles a stained glass window, providing a backdrop to the outlined figure, creating a juxtaposition between the structured grid and the freeform silhouette.
