Fred Hassebrock

Artist, American, 1903 - 1978

The image displays an abstract composition with a central multi-faceted star shape composed of intricate lines and diamond patterns in blue, green, red, and white hues. Surrounding the star are segments reminiscent of the American flag, with red and white stripes and blue rectangles with white stars. The overall design evokes a modern interpretive quilt or patchwork fabric design, blending a traditional star quilt pattern with national symbols.
