Hoop

Mae Szilvasy

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a wire structure. The structure is a framework with horizontal hoops widening gradually from the narrow top downwards to create a voluminous wide silhouette. The hoops are connected by vertical straps with detailed stitching and fastening elements such as buckles and rivets. The structure is painted in a light tan color against a blank paper background.
