Artist, American, 1905 - 1988

The image displays intersecting lines and shapes on a grid-like background. Abstract elements made from torn paper and pencil sketches are featured. Brown paper pieces are layered and black paper squares add contrast. Dark sweeping pencil lines create motion, subtly suggesting waves or wind currents. The grid pattern is reminiscent of graph paper.
