Artist, American, born 1930

The image displays various linear and curved shapes with diagonal and vertical lines on a textured background. On the left side, there are vertical black and white stripes resembling piano keys. In the center, there is a swirling circular shape, and adjacent to it is a rectangular block with a faded photograph of a seated family. On the far right, there are more abstract lines and patterns that could be interpreted as a design of stained glass or ornate wallpaper.
