Lon Cronk

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a series of repeating hexagonal shapes arranged in a grid pattern. Each hexagon is made up of three diamond shapes to create a three-dimensional effect. The hexagons are composed of various colors and patterns, including solids and stripes. The arrangement gives the illusion of stacked cubes. The colors used are red, blue, and neutral shades.
