Knife Box

Harry Eisman

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a series of lines and shapes arranged in an abstract composition. On the left side, there is a rectangular shape with diagonal and vertical lines creating sections within it. In the center, two sections are divided by curving lines. On the right, a vertical rectangular shape is divided by smooth, flowing curves. These forms could evoke the idea of paneling or pieces from a cabinet or cupboard.
