After Strife

Arthur B. Davies

National Gallery of Art

The image displays curving lines and rounded forms creating an abstract depiction of human figures on a textured background. The shapes evoke the appearance of intertwined bodies bending and stretching. The figures are positioned horizontally, bending downwards, with lines suggesting movement and interaction. The human forms are accentuated by subtle variation in tones and shading, enhancing their muscular definition and dynamic poses.
