Artist, British, 1901 - 1988

The image displays curving lines and sharp angles that intertwine across the canvas in an abstract representation. Among these shapes, a silhouette resembling a human profile and an eye is present, giving the impression of a face reflected in a mirror. The interplay of lines and shapes suggests familiarity, like a human figure or modernistic sculpture that fluctuates between abstraction and recognizable form. Texture and shading within the composition add depth and complexity to the artwork.
