Crazy Quilt

Charlotte Winter

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a variety of irregular, multi-colored shapes assembled into an abstract mosaic. The composition resembles a patchwork quilt, with each section having unique patterns like floral motifs, small animals, and a horse figure in the center. The fragmented areas are filled with vibrant hues like red, pink, green, blue, and gold, resembling a kaleidoscope. The pieces connect visually, creating a complex design.
