About the Item

It's an abstract from the 1940s-1950s, but one with a brilliant trompe l’oeil effect. The artist’s intense focus for accuracy in color placement achieves three-dimensionality as if this work were comprised of four square pieces of striped canvas each diagonally folded and meeting in the middle. How often does that happen these days?
