Brick Sidewalk Tiles

Robert Gilson

National Gallery of Art

The image displays three sections with various geometric shapes arranged on the canvas. In the upper left, there is a square featuring a textured abstract design with intersecting lines forming diamond shapes. The upper right section showcases interconnected heart-like figures outlined in red, creating a grid-like pattern. The lower section shows a lightly sketched perspective drawing of a cube with lines resembling those in the square tile above. The composition connects geometric forms to familiar objects such as tiles and boxes.
