Artist, American, 1904 - 1967

The image showcases fluid, curving shapes and forms resembling draped figures. Sweeping lines and rounded silhouettes are prominent. The abstract composition resembles classical sculptures or relief scenes with figures interacting within a rectangular frame. In the top right, angular forms are intersected by lines, reminiscent of an architectural framework or window. The arrangement conveys movement, akin to figures in a dance or theatrical tableau.
