Untitled

Leonard Edmondson

Associated Names

Leonard Edmondson

Artist, American, 1916 - 2002

The image exhibits a complex composition of curved and angular lines which create abstract shapes resembling faces or figures. Circles and elongated forms suggest eyes and limbs in a geometric arrangement. The abstract shapes may evoke connections to familiar objects such as a human figure with exaggerated facial features and a fish-like shape suspended nearby, both outlined and filled with concentric patterns and details.
