Associated Names

Artist, American, 1910 - 1998

The image depicts a bed with a wooden headboard and a colorful patchwork quilt as the main objects in a room with a window. The room is mostly monochrome, but the quilt adds various patterns and shades. The bed is against the right wall with white pillows and a framed picture above it, and a wire hanger can be seen on the wall. Light enters the room through the window with sheer curtains on the left side of the image.
