Edgar Miller

Associated Names

Edgar Miller

Artist, American, 1899 - 1993

The image features jagged and zigzag lines, sharp angles, and a mix of vertical and diagonal forms intersecting throughout. The abstract design evokes a sense of dynamic movement, reminiscent of city buildings or industrial structures, with ladder-like patterns adding to the urban allusion. Dark and light contrasts contribute to the perception of depth and space, akin to a cityscape at night.
