Description
Modernist artist Sybil Davis Emerson did this composition while living in Berkeley, California where she had been teaching at the California College of Arts & Crafts in Oakland. She had studied in France with L'hote and developed a broad visual vocabulary.
This abstracted drawing of a crossing could be a border crossing or a railroad crossing has cubist elements that might refer to Paul Klee's work from the 1920s
