DescriptionBlack cruciform in three parts with red line running horizontally across upper arms and vertically three quarters through the center.
eMuseum Notes
The black cruciform has historically been a source of inspiration for artists working in abstraction, most notably Russian Suprematist painter, Kazmir Malevich.  This contemporary work by American artist, Nancy Haynes, explores this iconic symbol in 3 dimensional form as a mirror image.
