Painting on stretched canvas over sculpted stretcher bars, constructed by the artist. The work has been painted to give the illusion that it is a raised cube when in fact it is a 2-dimensional shaped canvas.

Artist by Marva Marrow. Such notable collectors of the era, including Fred and Marcia Weisman, Steve Martin...
