Plate 13: From the Portfolio "Folk Art of Rural Pennsylvania"

American 20th Century

The image consists of geometric shapes and lines forming an abstract symmetrical design. In the center is a large red heart-like shape, surrounded by stylized floral elements with sharp, leaf-like petals. The top section features a circular flower with radiating blue and red pointed shapes, flanked by two smaller tulip-like forms. The overall pattern resembles traditional folk art designs, depicting a stylized bouquet of flowers. The image evokes a sense of symmetry and balance through its mirrored elements and bold colors.
