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

The image displays a combination of sweeping, curved lines and sharp angles, creating an abstract composition. The shapes in the upper portion resemble a pitched roof, while below are rows of parallel, white lines. The blend of colors and lines results in an abstract scene suggestive of architecture and open spaces.
