Artist, American, active c. 1935

The image displays a geometric pattern with four large triangles arranged in a pinwheel formation. The triangles alternate between deep blue and white colors, filled with small white circles and dotted patterns. The design resembles a quilt, with each section mirroring a folded piece of fabric, suggesting a spinning windmill or fan blades. The uniform distribution of shapes and colors creates a visually engaging rhythm, akin to traditional textile patchwork design.
