Associated Names

Lynd Kendall Ward

Artist, American, 1905 - 1985

The image contains dynamic, angular shapes and curving lines that convey movement. There is a large, winged figure in the center, resembling an angel or mythical creature. Above, a figure stands at a podium surrounded by stars and symbolic imagery. Below, smaller scenes show individuals in various poses. The intersecting lines and fragmented figures create an abstract narrative evoking human experiences through symbolism.
