Artist, American, 1925 - 2008

The image shows a network of telephone or power wires intersecting above against a muted sky. Tall trees reach upward, and two prominent tree trunks are shown close to us, with their dark silhouettes set against the light sky. The wires connect among poles, some featuring hoops, cutting through the vertical elements of the trees. The scene is characterized by stark contrasts between the dark tones of the trees and wires and the pale background. The composition is emphasized through geometric lines and a muted color palette.
