Edna Crenshaw Rex

Artist, American, 1893 - 1972

The image shows a rectangular form bordered by zigzag lines that encapsulate a series of parallel vertical lines within. The composition appears abstract, with a sense of neatly arranged rows of strings or vertical blinds framed within a patterned outline. The uniformity and repetition of lines convey an impression of order and precision, while the zigzag border adds a decorative element.
