Associated Names

Worden Day

Artist, American, 1916 - 1986

The image displays angular, intersecting lines and shapes in bold black ink over a textured background of muted earth tones with hints of red and yellow. The abstract composition hints at the outlines of figures or complex structures, resembling a chaotic cityscape or a collection of musical instruments. The title "ATELIER #17" is in red text against a gold band at the bottom, framing the piece with artistic context.
