Artist, American, 1909 - 1992

The image features intersecting diagonal and curving lines. This abstract artwork incorporates elements that resemble sails or ship masts, with elongated lines rising at various angles. Circular forms and swirling patterns in the upper portion evoke the idea of celestial bodies or planets. Across the midsection, textures reminiscent of water or a horizon line add depth, while faint outlines suggest the presence of fish swimming.
