Quilt

Dorothy Posten

National Gallery of Art

The image displays bold, wavy lines in green and red, creating a visual contrast. The design features abstract shapes that resemble undulating ribbons or paths, along with arrangements of green and red forms resembling stylized floral motifs or four-leaf clovers. The repetitive nature of the design adds a rhythmic quality to the composition.
