Antonio Frasconi

Associated Names

Antonio Frasconi

Artist, American, born Uruguay, 1919 - 2013

The image consists of sharp, angular shapes and bold lines forming an abstract composition. Among the geometric patterns is a wheeled contraption resembling an old cart or wagon. Additionally, there is a simplified figure of a man in a stylized manner. Abstract linear strokes above suggest rain falling from a cloud. The structured elements and organic forms create a striking abstract representation.
