About this work

This is just three black lines. One line stands straight up. Two short lines stick out—one at the top, one in the middle. The background is plain white. No colors, no shapes, no people. It looks like a simple diagram. The lines are uneven. The top one is short and thick. The middle one is longer and thinner. It feels off-balance, like something was left out. Want to see how artists made prints like this? Try looking up lithography.
