Untitled
1950

An abstract artwork featuring irregular black ink lines and shapes on a cream-colored background. The lines vary in thickness and form an assortment of loops, curves, and linear strokes, some of which suggest rudimentary forms or symbols. The composition is spontaneous with a sense of free-flowing movement. There is a signature and date in the bottom right corner indicating the piece was created in 1950.
