Richard Tuttle

Artist, American, born 1941

The image shows a collection of bold, overlapping, curved lines and shapes in black on a plain background. The shapes resemble elements such as eyebrows or curved shadows, forming a loosely connected structure across the canvas. Light pencil lines border the abstract elements, adding depth and texture, reminiscent of fragments pieced together to create a semblance of a face or mask.
