Artist, American, born Canada, 1918 - 1988

The artwork consists of swirling lines and circular shapes blending together to create an abstract composition. The curving lines resemble waves or gusts of wind, while the circular forms resemble clock faces or coiled ropes. In the center, there is a discernible figure that could be interpreted as a person standing or raising an arm against a nebulous background.
