Medard P. Klein

Artist, American, 1905 - 2002

The image displays a complex arrangement of geometric shapes and lines forming a surreal, abstract design. Overlapping triangles and semi-circles create a fragmented landscape resembling gemstone facets. Intricate patterns including swirling lines and stippled textures evoke vines and a starry sky. Organic forms resembling birds in flight and waves suggest motion and life in the composition.
