Artist, American, 1907 - 1998

The image displays an abstract composition with a green rectangular shape taking up a significant portion of the space. Next to the rectangle, there is a smaller section with red and cream stripes. Two strings descend from the top of the striped section, each terminating in a bulbous shape resembling a tassel, with accents of yellow and blue. The arrangement and stripe pattern hint at a flag-like structure, but the unconventional colors and additional elements contribute to an abstract aesthetic.
