Silk Quilt (Hexagonal Pattern)

Ralph N. Morgan

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a collection of hexagonal shapes arranged in a geometric pattern. The center features blue hexagons forming a flower-like abstract pattern, with beige and brown hexagons surrounding them. Some hexagons have intricate line patterns, resembling fabric or textile designs. On the left side, there is a border of diagonal purple and teal shapes, creating a contrasting frame. The overall design may evoke a quilt or mosaic with interlocking components and varied textures.
