Artist, American, 1915 - 2001

The image displays bold, dynamic shapes and lines in dark shades intersected by lighter areas. This abstract composition includes sweeping strokes and angular forms. The use of deep blacks contrasted with hints of green and blue creates a pattern resembling a stormy night sky, with dark clouds and occasional flashes of light. The juxtaposition of dark and light builds an abstract scene reminiscent of natural forces in motion.
