Artist, American, 1895 - 1982

This is a painting of abstracted, expressive forms depicting a group in unified action or emotion. The composition consists of loosely defined human-like forms layered and clustered together. Rendered in shades of black, gray, and white, the forms give the impression of raised hands and suggestive facial expressions, emanating from a centralized grouping. The texture is fluid, with visible brushstrokes adding movement. The background complements the central focus through its contrasts. This is in the style of Hale Woodruff, known for emotive and stylized renderings.
