Untitled
c. 1956

A sketch on paper featuring an abstract composition of dynamic, intersecting lines and shapes that create a sense of movement. Some shapes resemble sharp, angular forms, while others are more curved and organic. The drawing is executed with confident, hatched lines, suggesting a three-dimensional form on a pedestal or base in the lower right corner. The background is plain, emphasizing the complexity of the sketched structure.
