This painting shows a rough, angular shape that looks like a seated person. The form is broken into sharp, flat planes—some gray, some pale blue, others pink—with bold black lines cutting across. The background is a pale, uneven wash, and the whole thing feels like it’s sketched in quick, uneven strokes. The artist signed it in the corner with a small mark, but no date is clear. The style looks like the artist was playing with how light and shadow split into hard edges. Check out Aalto, Ilmari to see more of his work.
