Painter, American, 1934 - 2005

The image depicts a rough, triangular shape composed of bold, angular lines, primarily divided into segments of red, blue, and yellow shades. The red area occupies the central triangle, bordered by blue on the top and a thin yellow strip beneath. Small ornamental objects line the transition between these colors along the triangle's hypotenuse. A horizontal brown wooden plank is placed flush with the bottom of the image.
