Artist, American, active c. 1936

The image shows a circular shape with intersecting straight lines converging at the center. This abstract composition is mounted on a shapely stand, positioned on a rectangular base. The arrangement evokes the image of an old-fashioned table fan or a simplified windmill, set against a plain background.
