Artist, American, born 1910

The image displays an array of shapes and lines overlapping in a complex arrangement. Solid black lines form an abstract pattern resembling a cage or tangled structure. Muted colors like earthy reds and soft blues interplay with black, accompanied by hints of olive green. The design evokes a sense of organized chaos.
