Erik Saxon

Artist, American, born 1942

The image shows a large, vertical white rectangle centered on a textured, brownish-gray background. The composition is reminiscent of a tall window or door. The contrast between the clean lines of the rectangle and the rough texture of the surrounding area enhances the abstract nature of the piece.
