Artist, American, 1925 - 2021

The image shows swirling and intersecting lines forming an elaborate structure resembling concentric rings and arches. The text inscribed along the curves and flows suggests names and historical figures. The chaotic assembly of shapes draws parallels to a fragmented stone relief or a collage of ruins, with overlapping forms and shadows suggesting the grandeur and decay of a historical landscape.
