Arshile Gorky

Artist, American, born Van Province, Ottoman Empire (now Turkey), c. 1904 - 1948

The image features a composition of curved and angular lines forming an abstract figure. The shapes intertwine and overlap, with a pointed nose-like shape and an eye-like circular motif. There is a suggestion of a body formed by flowing drapery resembling a cloak or cape. The background is detailed with crisscrossing lines and shaded areas, adding depth to the design. The central shape resembles a candlestick or pedestal, blending familiar forms into an imaginative composition.
