The image displays dark lines and shapes in an abstract composition. It features intricate patterns that could resemble tangled roots or branches, alongside swirling currents. The patterns create a sense of motion, with varying textures and shading hinting at a dynamic landscape. The abstract nature invites viewers to interpret familiar objects like natural forms or elemental flows.

A Cycle of a Small Sea-Fowl

Arthur Deshaies, Pratt Graphic Art Center

1961

The image displays bold intersecting shapes and lines in a dynamic abstract composition. Black and white are prominent, with deep blue patches in a triangular area at the bottom right. The shapes resemble fragmented pieces or shards, reminiscent of puzzle pieces or segments of stained glass. Curved outlines suggest organic elements like leaves or shells, while elongated shapes hint at figures or faces amidst a complex tapestry of contrasts and textures.

The Feast

Leonard Edmondson, Pratt Graphic Art Center

1961

This is a drawing of a group of various birds. The composition contains intricately detailed birds with unique features and expressions. At the center, there is an owl staring directly at the viewer, surrounded by different species including eagles and vultures. The birds fill the space tightly, with a skull present at the bottom center. The fine line work and texturing capture the feathers and markings on each bird.
