This drawing was preparatory to a painting of the same year now in the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, and reprises the composition of a color lithograph made by the artist one year earlier. The title and composition allude to telephone communications, sliced cables and broken connections, while feather-like forms in the upper left suggest a bird in flight.
