Artist, American, 1922 - 1993

The image displays a composition of rectangular and triangular shapes outlined by thin white lines on a dark, textured background. The main rectangular shape is divided into two sections, with darker reddish-brown on the left and deep, dark green-black on the right, intersected by diagonal lines. The overall design evokes stained glass windows or an abstract architectural blueprint.
