Artist, American, 1927 - 2023

The image displays a composition of rectangular and irregular shapes with clean lines and torn edges, creating an abstract visual. One can observe a large block of vibrant yellow beside a soft light blue area. Below, black shapes with jagged edges and a bit of white suggest a fragmented cityscape, while the precision in the yellow and blue blocks evokes architectural facades against the abstract backdrop.
