Artist, American, 1923 - 2013

The image displays a series of vertical lines with slight diagonal interruptions creating an abstract pattern. The lines are evenly spaced, resembling the planks of a wooden floor or tall, narrow windows of a skyscraper. The composition draws the eye along the linear elements, inviting comparisons to an architectural facade.
