Cattle Brand c. 1936

"Cattle Brand" is an abstract ink drawing created by J. Henry Marley in 1936. The work depicts a simple black and white design, composed of thick, bold lines that are reminiscent of a cattle brand. Marley's minimalist style and focus on abstract forms make this work a compelling example of American modernism. The piece invites the viewer to consider the power of symbols and their ability to convey meaning through their simplicity.
