Associated Names

Mark Freeman

Artist, American, 1908 - 2003

The image displays a complex arrangement of angular black and white shapes, with sharp lines crisscrossing across the frame, creating an abstract cityscape. The design evokes the silhouettes of high-rise buildings and bridges, reminiscent of urban architecture with intersecting beams and windows. The abstract nature of the composition reduces the familiar forms of skyscrapers and construction to a series of geometric patterns.
