Artist, American, 1916 - 1986

The image features irregular, cracked lines and fragmented shapes that form an abstract design. The shapes and textures form patterns across the canvas. There are soft gradients of peach and sky blue in the upper right, and lines suggesting contours in the lower section. Small patches of color in red, orange, and blue punctuate the overall muted palette. The piece presents an abstract exploration of natural and stone-like forms.
