Artist, American, born 1913

The image contains an abstract composition with a large, dark, curved shape intersected by a textured, brown fabric piece. The elements together create a shape resembling an uppercase "G" or a partially opened book viewed from the top. The arrangement contrasts the smooth, dark surface with the rough texture of the fabric. The curved line evokes a sense of movement.
