Artist, American, 1905 - 1970

The image shows intersecting and curving lines with dark outlines forming abstract leaf-like shapes at the center. The lines and forms suggest an abstract composition resembling a fish, petals, or flowing tail. Some textures resemble water currents or wood grain. An irregular, bulbous outline is on the right side, resembling a fin. Contrasting textures and linear elements create a complex layered appearance.
