Ralston Crawford

New Orleans #4A
1953

This is a black and white abstract print featuring geometric shapes and lines that create a stylized composition. A prominent black shape resembling a chalice with a cross symbol is centered on the page, flanked by vertical and horizontal lines and blocks. The artist's signature is visible at the bottom, along with text indicating the artwork's edition. The background is plain, highlighting the stark contrast between the black ink and the white paper.
