Anthony Gross

Artist, British, 1905 - 1984

The image features jagged lines and swirling curves that create a sense of movement. Circular forms and linear elements suggest an industrial scene, with shapes resembling gears, wheels, railway tracks, and building structures. Human figures and bicycles contrast with the mechanical forms. The overall effect is an abstract representation of an industrial setting.
