Artist, American, 1914 - 2006

The image displays bold, swirling lines and shapes forming an abstract composition. Black lines curve and twist, resembling swirling ribbons or flowing fabric, with red, yellow, and green patches. The shapes suggest movement and energy, akin to a clown's outfit or flowing drapes. Angular green and yellow forms with sharp triangular lines appear in the background, creating a fragmented, geometric backdrop contrasting with the central flowing shapes.
