Study for "Soho" (verso)

Oscar F. Bluemner

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a series of intersecting lines and curved shapes enclosed within a square border. The central focus is an oval shape intersected by vertical and horizontal lines. Vertical lines on the left and right edges resemble tall pillars or skyscrapers, while arcs above and below the oval shape suggest a dome or canopy. The arrangement of lines and shapes hints at architectural elements of a cityscape or a theatrical setting.
