Rain #3

1982

Edda Renouf

Associated Names

Edda Renouf

Artist, American, born 1943

The image shows vertical striped shapes alternating in black and blue with faint white grid-like lines running horizontally across them. This composition resembles tall, slender columns or abstracted piano keys standing side by side. The verticality and uniformity of the shapes can be compared to elongated skyscrapers, while the textured patterns within each stripe suggest digital or woven fabric surfaces.
