Quilt

Eva Wilson

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two geometric squares with intricate patterns and colors creating an abstract composition. The squares display a series of straight and curved lines with a repetitive swirled motif at the top of one. Each square contains a red rectangular shape at its center, flanked by colored bars resembling pillars in shades of blue and beige. The textured backgrounds in both squares suggest a woven or dotted surface, extending an abstract interpretation akin to a patchwork or quilt-like design.
