Associated Names

Flora Blanc Reeder

Artist, American, 1916 - 1995

The image shows a large fish in an abstract and surreal scene. The fish has large scales and a prominent eye, placed centrally within the composition. The fish's shape contrasts against a dark, textured background. Additional surreal elements include abstract shapes resembling seaweed or tendrils wrapping around the fish, and a small, crab-like creature beneath it. Patterns and textures add complexity to the scene, creating a dream-like underwater environment.
