Jules Engel

Artist, American, born 1915

The image depicts swirling and intersecting lines and shapes primarily in black, forming a dense and chaotic central mass. The abstract artwork resembles a tangled thicket or heavily inked brush stroke with energetic, spiky protrusions. The overall effect evokes a dynamic explosion or an inkblot spreading across a light background.
