Artist, American, 1910 - 1962

The image consists of bold, dark lines forming abstract shapes within a rectangular frame. The lines twist and turn, resembling objects such as a chair with a curved back on the right and a table or bench on the left. The composition suggests an indoor scene with furniture elements like those found in living or working spaces. The rough and expressive strokes add to the abstract nature of the image.
