Artist, American, born Russia (now Latvia), 1903 - 1970

This abstract composition features geometric shapes and bold brushstrokes creating a fragmented scene. A large yellow rectangle at the center suggests a table, with surrounding abstract forms hinting at chairs. Blocks of red, green, and black overlap to form a textured background, while to the left a stack of wavy dark and light shapes could represent books or a lamp. The painting's structural forms imply a cluttered interior space.
