George Bunker

Associated Names

George Bunker

Artist, American, 1923 - 1991

The image features overlapping geometric shapes and uneven lines in green, red, orange, and muted gray colors. Large rectangles and irregular polygons create a textured surface with an abstract quality. The composition resembles a fragmented landscape, suggestive of a garden with earthy and floral hues, but without any literal depiction of such objects. The varying sizes and orientations of the shapes give the piece an energetic and mosaic-like effect.
