Curled Figure XVIII (study)

2002

Robert Mangold

Associated Names

Robert Mangold

Artist, American, born 1937

The image shows two large, sweeping spiral lines on a vivid yellow background, creating an abstract pattern. The spirals curve inwards from opposite edges of the canvas. The composition is symmetric across a vertical divide. The abstract interaction of these curves can evoke the sensation of movement or a sense of infinity.
