Associated Names

Alfred Russell

Artist, American, 1920 - 2007

The image displays swirling and looping lines and shapes, creating an abstract composition. The design resembles tangled ribbons, organic forms, or stylized musical instruments, intertwining over a background of geometric blocks and shading. The lines lead the eye in various directions, following the contours of a labyrinth. The abstract artwork presents familiar curves and intersections suggesting elements like wiry vines or a child's scribble.
