Howard H. Sherman

National Gallery of Art

The image shows curved and straight lines forming abstract shapes. In the top right corner, there is a green scalloped circle enclosing a symmetrical, flower-like design with loops. Along the right side, a sequence of teardrop shapes runs parallel to an orange and blue border. In the center-top, there is a large abstract geometric shape with soft, wavy lines. At the bottom, a square frame encloses a gray sketch with swirling lines and triangular peaks.
