Artist, American, born Latvia, 1900 - 1983

The image shows a composition of crisscrossing lines and overlapping shapes, creating a tapestry of vertical and horizontal forms. The abstract nature of the piece suggests urban architecture, reminiscent of buildings or streets seen from above. Colors like yellow, red, and muted pinks, along with dark and light gray tones, create a lively cityscape. The overall effect evokes a city under twilight, where structures blur into a network of lines.
