Artist, American, 1898 - 1983

This is a drawing of an abstract scene. A large, ethereal figure hovers over a smaller, more defined figure within a setting of jagged, geometric forms. The large figure appears to be emerging from a dark cloud-like formation, its body rendered with smooth, flowing lines. Light radiates from behind the figure. Below, a smaller figure rises amidst sharp, pointed rock-like structures, arms lifted above its head. The composition is monochromatic, using shades of black, gray, and white. Shadows and light interact in the rocky landscape surrounding the lower figure.
