Quilt

Ralph M. Lewis

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a series of concentric rectangles arranged in a geometric pattern forming a square grid divided into four quadrants. Each quadrant contains layered rectangles in varying shades of pink, red, black, brown, blue, and green. The rectangles resemble stacked wooden planks, resembling a log cabin quilt pattern. The colors and shapes create depth and dimensionality, reminiscent of patchwork artistry in textiles.
