Artist, American, born Russia, 1907 - 1981

The image shows bold, horizontal, and vertical lines forming rectangular shapes in an abstract composition. The dominant colors are blue, black, red, and a hint of yellow, creating a grid-like pattern. The arrangement of lines and blocks resembles a stylized cityscape or a modernist building facade, reminiscent of a crossword puzzle with its structured layout and distinct sections.
