Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, Howard’s biomorphic abstractions were shown in numerous Surrealist exhibitions in England and the United States. This work, executed in San Francisco in the summer of 1942, was the artist’s prize-winning entry in the Artists for Victory competition, held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art that winter. Although its iconography is obscure, Howard wrote that works like this were meant "to recall shapes and relations of things which are common to all mankind."
