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

The artwork includes swirling shapes and lines forming an abstract composition. In the center is an irregular, semi-circular form with intricate zigzag patterns, bordered by a thick red arc. To the left, a cluster of shapes with dotted patterns resembles flower petals or foliage. The lower portion has rigid lines forming a grid-like pattern. The piece blends organic curves with geometric elements in a playful arrangement of shapes and colors.
