Artist, American, 1904 - 2001

The image depicts an abstract scene of straight and angular lines that create the silhouette of a city skyline with tall, pointed structures resembling skyscrapers. Above the skyline, there is the outline of a reclining figure that resembles a woman's form, which is large and shadowy. The scene suggests a surreal connection between the abstract buildings and the familiar sight of a cityscape, as well as a dream-like presence over the urban landscape.
