DescriptionImage of a bridge over water as seen from the grassy shoreline. The bridge is composed of a metal cantilever central section with two identical spans and metal piers, which taper to a point when they meet the base of the bridge. Vertical and horizontal bars are intersected with triangular forms that create abstract patterns. Dense clouds fill two wide horizontal bands in the sky.Provenance
