Artist, American, 1908 - 1986

The image displays bold, sweeping curves and lines that form an abstract composition. It resembles interwoven tapestry of human-like shapes, suggesting resting or reclining figures. The use of dense cross-hatching gives a textured appearance that might evoke the folds and shadows of draped fabric or a sunlit landscape with human forms intertwined.
