Artist, American, 1870 - 1953

The image displays an abstract composition of intersecting diagonal lines and jagged shapes. A bold, dark cross-like form stands out among lighter lines and angles. The dynamic lines and shapes resemble shards of glass or a jagged mountain range. The artwork's use of sharp lines and angular forms creates an energetic and disordered appearance.
