Fannie Hillsmith

Associated Names

Fannie Hillsmith

Artist, American, 1911 - 2007

The image shows a variety of geometric and organic shapes, including teardrop and oval forms amidst angular and jagged lines. The arrangement resembles a collage of patterned fabric pieces or ornamental textiles, with flowing lines that suggest the movement of leaves or tendrils. Intricate patterns within the shapes evoke scrollwork or calligraphy, creating a decorative complexity. Overall, the patterns and lines create a tapestry-like effect, blending the abstract with recognizable motifs.
