Arthur Deshaies

Cycle of a Large Sea: Night Sea Rider's Labyrinth
1962

An intricate black and white abstract etching with a variety of textures and patterns, featuring swirling shapes, scribbles, and what appear to be fragmented images of objects and possibly figures. The composition is dense with overlapping forms, creating a sense of depth and movement.
