Associated Names

Susan Schwalb

Artist, American, born 1944

The image depicts soft, flowing lines creating an abstract pattern on a rectangular canvas. The lines resemble smooth sand dunes or stratified rock layers, undulating and overlapping in shades of grey. Gradation adds depth, evoking natural formations like waves or wood grain. The composition is calming, harmonious, and conveys a sense of movement.
