Quilt

Grace Halpin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a series of rectangular and square shapes arranged in a layered pattern, creating a geometric composition. The abstract arrangement of intersecting lines and vibrant colors, such as red, blue, brown, and green, resembles a patchwork quilt or a mosaic of interlocking tiles. The alternating pattern and varied textures suggest familiar objects like woven fabrics or traditional quilts. The overall appearance is rich with a sense of structure and rhythm.
