Frank Cassara

Artist, American, born 1913

The image displays a complex array of lines and overlapping shapes forming a dense pattern. The lines converge and diverge, resembling a figure with elongated limbs and torso. Textured areas in the background suggest a rough surface like tree bark or stone, while circular imprints may resemble eyes or spheres. The elements combine to create a visually engaging abstract design.
