Artist, American, 1909 - 1994

This is a drawing of an abstract beach scene. The drawing features two figures reclining on a patterned surface. The background suggests a shoreline and a distant vertical element resembling a lighthouse or buoy standing in a body of water. The lines used in the drawing are fluid and dynamic. The figures are stylized, with elongated limbs and flowing contours. The use of graphite or charcoal provides a monochromatic palette.
