William Dutterer

Associated Names

William Dutterer

Artist, American, 1943 - 2007

The image shows large, soft rectangular shapes positioned across the top and bottom edges. The abstract composition resembles wide doorways or gateways against a smooth, uniform surface similar to an overcast sky. The gentle blending and subtle textures suggest light permeating through frosted glass panels, leaving the central area mostly uninterrupted.
