Wooden Mask

Margaret Knapp

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an abstract composition with curved and angular shapes that form a humanoid face. The shapes resemble familiar objects like the contours of a mask, with circles for eyes and curved lines for a mouth. The arrangement is reminiscent of a face with simplified and geometric features, reminiscent of a stylized or primitive mask.
