Ezio Martinelli

Associated Names

Ezio Martinelli

Artist, American, 1913 - 1980

The image depicts a complex web of intertwining lines and shapes on the canvas. The abstract composition resembles plant roots or swirling vines. Some shapes are elongated and curvilinear like musical notes, while others suggest tangled hair or strings. The lines vary in thickness and texture, creating a sense of organic growth or movement within the piece.
