Artist, American, 1922 - 2017

The image features intersecting lines and irregular shapes forming an abstract composition. The elements create a design reminiscent of a garden with shapes resembling leaves, flowers, and stems defined by vertical and diagonal lines. Vibrant colors such as red, yellow, blue, and green are abstractly suggestive of blossoms. The overall effect is akin to viewing a scene through a stained glass window, hinting at an outdoor setting with abstract visual cues.
