Friendship Quilt

Carl Keksi

National Gallery of Art

The image displays a composition of geometric shapes, primarily squares and rectangles, arranged in a grid pattern. Blue and beige tones are used, creating a contrasting design. The pattern resembles a checkerboard, similar to traditional quilt or tile work. An inset frame in the top right corner features a smaller, intricate section of the design, highlighting detailed texture reminiscent of embroidery or mosaic art.
