Artist, American, born 1907

The image displays intersecting lines and shapes forming a complex geometric composition. Large leaf-like forms in green and brown dominate the foreground while assorted rectangles and vertical stripes in shades of earthy brown and muted yellow create a textured background. The layering and overlap of these shapes evoke depth and complexity.
