Ralston Crawford

New Orleans #6
1954

This is a black and white abstract print featuring stark, jagged shapes that create a dynamic and explosive composition. The contrast between the black and white areas is pronounced, with the white shapes resembling bursts or shards radiating outward from an unseen center. The print is signed and dated at the bottom, indicating it's an artist's work from 1951.
