About this work

This drawing shows two rough, blocky shapes on a tan background. One shape is a zigzagging floor plan with small squares that look like rooms and doors. The other is a simple, lopsided rectangle with a flat top. The lines are thin and shaky, drawn in what looks like a ballpoint pen. The artist didn’t label it, but the smaller shape has a tiny word scrawled near it—maybe "cat." That’s the only hint of anything beyond the shapes themselves. Next, check out Frank Stella to see how he played with simple lines and shapes in his work.
