About this work

This is a blank-looking sheet of paper. Almost nothing is drawn on it. On the right side, there’s a faint outline of a person sitting. The rest is just smooth, light beige color. The artist didn’t use ink or paint. Instead, they pressed into the paper to create the faint lines. It’s like the drawing is barely there. Look up Dumont, Maurice next to see how he made these quiet, simple works.
