Artist, American, 1899 - 1985

The image displays various shapes and lines arranged in a complex abstract pattern. Geometric and curved lines intersect in a structured yet disorderly manner. The design may evoke figures in motion, textiles, and architectural elements. Repetitive zigzag and wavy patterns, along with fragmented landscape motifs, are present.
